New York Nearest Subway Free Edition app for iPhone and iPad
Forget boring 2D subway maps! Try this amazing new application that tells New Yorkers where their nearest subway station is via their phone’s camera.
This application has been updated to support the iPhone 4s retina display and gyroscope. This edition is supported by Apple iAds.
INSTRUCTIONS
When you load the app, holding it flat, all lines of the New York subway are displayed in colorful arrows. By tilting the phone upwards, you will see the nearest stations: what direction they are in relation to your location, their distance and what routes they are on. If you continue to tilt the phone upwards, you will see stations further away, as stacked icons.
