Add Subway maps to your iPod

I don’t like those big subway maps that you get for free when you visit cities like London, Paris or New York. They are big, they tell everyone that you are a tourist (attracts criminals) and not that handy if you need a quick answer about a certain subway you need to catch.

The guys from iSubwaymaps might have been thinking about this as well when they decided to publish subway maps of some of the most popular cities in the world. (currently 24 including Hong Kong, Moscow and Washington next to the ones mentioned in the first paragraph)

Adding those maps (as images) to your iPod is relatively simple. Download and unpack the maps of your choice to your desktop. Open up iTunes and connect the iPod to your computer. Left-Click your iPod in the left pane (labeled source), click on Edit and choose Preferences.

Select the iPod tab and click on Photos. Activate Synchronize Photos from and choose select folder. Browse to the folder that you unpacked the map to and open it. This should be the last step (besides clicking ok) unless the unpacked map has a subfolder. If that is the case activate copy selected folders only. Click on OK afterwards and the pictures are transferred to your iPod.
