Last night on "30 Rock," Alec Baldwin's character got lost within New York's subway system, and due to being covered in bedbugs, received no help from his fellow passengers.� But if the same thing happened to him (or a non-fictional person) today, Google Maps could have come to the rescue.

A post on the LatLong Blog announced this afternoon, "[Y]ou can now see New York's subway lines drawn out directly on Google Maps as part of the transit layer.� To turn it on, just point Google Maps to somewhere in New York, click on the 'More...' button at top-right, and select 'Transit.'"

Then, "When you click on any station name, a bubble pops up with the names of the line that service the station, and all the other lines on the screen fade out."
And the transit layer is accessible through Google Maps for BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Symbian S60, by the way, so people should be able to take advantage of it while they're on the go.

Lots of New York tourists - and/or GE execs who have been barred from using company cars - are likely to wind up being quite grateful for this offering.
