It’s been available as a layer on Google Maps for BlackBerry devices for a while, but it looks like Google formally announced the MTA NYC Subway transit layer for the standard version of Google Maps. Rather than simply showing the station stops like Google Maps has been doing, the new layer actually shows you how each line travels from point to point.
Looks like there will soon be no use for this digital version of the official MTA NYC Subway map.

Google launched a new feature (not really a feature, actually) today called Dashboard that lets you easily see all of the information that Google stores about you in one place. The site is an easy way to get to each Google product’s settings/privacy pages without having to log in to each service.
If you use Google products and services on a day to day basis, I recommend that you go to your Google Dashboard and see if you’ve got any settings you might want to change.

Wow, already? Google Wave is barely beyond a preview right now and Gina Trapani has already compiled all of the possible tips and tricks to help you make the most of your Google Wave experience. For what it’s worth though, this is actually quite informative and it includes a lot of stuff that Google doesn’t really tell you right off the bat when you start using Wave. [via]

OASISNYC just linked me to a great Google Maps mashup on WNYC that shows construction projects in NYC. The map labels areas as partially under construction, completed, and partially occupied — all great information if you want to get a peek at some of NYC’s urban holes and building shells.
Check out the map below.

Google UK shows us this animation that covers the past 11 years of Google technologies, advancements, and innovations. Nicely done!
