Explore NewYork city with Google & NYC.
In January month New York City’s official marketing, tourism and partnership organization, NYC & Company, announced new resources to improve the experience for visitors to and residents of New York City.
NYC launched nycgo.com and the Official NYC Information Center, both of which use many Google products and APIs. Using these new tools, you can plan a trip to NYC at home, transfer details to your cell phone, and then learn more at a real-world information center.
nycgo.com features editorial content to help you find the best places to visit in NYC. The site uses the Google on pages about restaurants, hotels, and events. You can select a place mark on a map, and then send the place to your phone via text message. When you open the text message, your phone’s browser launches m.nycgo.com, which uses the Google Maps Static API to render an image of map. The mobile web page has a link that invokes Google Maps for mobile (or otherwise allows the user to download Google Maps) so that you can get transit, driving, or walking directions while out exploring the city. Google Maps on iPhone and Android can both be invoked using standard maps.google.com URLs, whereas other mobile operating systems require specialized handling.

No need for brochures or travel books when this is available. What a genius idea. Plus it is much cheaper to keep up to date than print.
