FAQ

Q: Why is this app rated 17+?

A: The app allows unfiltered access to the Internet via the "Add Map" function, so Apple requires that I rate the app 17+ for the possibility of accessing anything on the Internet. This is why you'll see "You must be at least 17 years old to download this application." It has nothing to do with anything included in the app.

Q: How do I load files from my Mac computer?

A: You can put your image files (PDF or JPG, GIF, or other bitmap formats) in your User ~/Sites folder. Then go into System Preferences->Sharing and turn on Web Sharing. In the panel, you should see the URL address to access your personal website. Enter this URL into the Transit Maps app by tapping "Add new map..." and tapping the URL button, then entering the URL from your Mac. In the web page that appears, clicking on the file will load it into the app.

About the maps
This app comes with built-in unofficial maps for the New York City subway and Philadelphia rail system, and supports downloading maps, schedules, and any other PDF or image files. Use the built-in web browser to choose and download your map image. This app will save the images so that you can later access them when you don't have network access, for example in a subway tunnel.

The included NYC subway map is by CountZ on Wikipedia and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 License: "you are free to share and make derivative works of the file under the conditions that you appropriately attribute it, and that you distribute it only under a license identical to this one."
