Be a tourist without looking like one! Getting around NYC with your iPhone

If you visit NYC, a great app to download for your iPhone is Exit Strategy.  It's the best NYC subway app I have found... and I have tried several!

It has local maps and all of the transit maps for New York (subway AND buses).  And it doesn't need access to phone service or internet connection to do it, which is great for when you are underground.

Not only does it have transit maps, but also has local maps of all of New York.  And the part I love is that you can tap on a station and it will show you which car you should be in to get out at the exit you want, so while you wait for the train to come you can walk to where that car will pull up and save time on the other end of the trip (we NYers call this "pre-walking")

It's only $3.99, which is less than a round trip subway ride, and totally worth it.  I use it almost every day.  Plus you won't be carrying around, and even worse UNFOLDING giant subway maps (why do they make them so big?).  You don't have to look like a tourist (even if you are one!)
