One suggestion for the next version - include the Go Train Station Names. It would be nice to also colour code them to match the train routes on the Go transit website. Thanks...

The only phone I've seen display my map is Apple's iPhone, and it didn't support searching for an address.

Brilliant idea! Thanks. Sometimes an address search doesn't work on your map but works on maps.google.ca (try 68 Carr Street Toronto for an example). I can work around this by first locating the address on Google Maps and then using your site, but I think this is something that you might be interested in fixing (it happened with a few addresses). Also, it would be useful if you added a Key on on side that explains your symbols, namely what the routs and station graphics each mean. Cheers Andy Hi…

You can toggle between TTC map and Google map by switching between the 'Map' and 'Transit' buttons at the top right. Hi Aya.

Just one thing I wanted to ask: would it be possible for you to make the route lines thinner or translucent when we zoom in? I find it extremely difficult to read the map when it's zoomed in, as the streets (both the lines and names) are obscured by the thick, opaque route lines. Thanks, Aya Hi Ian,

If you're using Illustrator to scale the map, then you're going to want to remove all unneeded elements. If you don't, scaling and rotating it to fit it onto the Google Map will take forever. You'll also need to stitch together an area of the map to act as your reference point. You can write one like I did, or use <a href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~nvawter/projects/googlemaps/" title="Google Map Hack for Large Maps" rel="nofollow">one already available</a>. I hope that helps. That’s a pretty large map you have there, Sasha, but if you want to paste it onto Google Maps, I’m afraid it will have to be bigger, probably at least twice its current size.

I've been trying something similar for something I made, which is really the integrated system maps of the TTC, Mississauga Transit, york Region Transit, etc. that goes all the way to Barrie, Hamilton, Oshawa, and Kitchener/Waterloo. Do you have any hints/tips that could help me to edit the image to do soemthing similar to what you did to integrate the map on to Google Maps? I'd appreciate your help =) If you're interested, download my map at www.sasharamani.com/gtatransit.html. Thanks! Hey Ian, I’ve been using your map for a while and I just love it!
