Tunnelbana Map on Your iPod

While surfing the net yesterday, I discovered William Bright's website "iPod Subway Maps". Unfortunately the site was lacking a map for Stockholm's tunnelbana, so I sent him an email and requested one.

But it's usually faster to do it yourself, so I googled for an appropriate map [PDF] and cut it into pieces of 220 x 176 pixels with an overlap of 10 pixels. As you can see on the photo I have already put it on my iPod and it works great.

Tunnelbana Map on iPod

If you have got an iPod Color and want to use the map: download this tar.gzip file (if you use Mac OS X) or this zip file (if you use Windows).

Of course I will also submit the map to William Bright's website. I'll keep you updated on this topic.

[Update]

Browsing SL's website yesterday evening, I found a better map [PDF] than the one I used first. In addition to the three tunnelbana lines it features Pendeltåg, Lidingöbanan, Nockebybanan, Saltsjöbanan, Tvärbanan and Roslagsbanan, too. I have already converted it for the iPod and adapted the links above.

Hi Hendrik!

Shame on me that I'm commenting on your great web site so late but I was travelling a bit here and there and... got a minor knee injury so I have to sit at home now :( I wanted to send you a postcard but didn't have your Swedish address, which I've found now, so beware!
I can see you are having a really good time there (not playing Sudoku though ;). Let it be further this way! Take care!

Thanks so much for making this! I haven't found any other map of Stockholm that's readable on my iPod classic.
