This is really cool. It was just posted to the Facebook Maps-L group by
Eric Riback but I thought I'd share it here too ...

On Monday, the city announced a possible remedy for the uncertain: a
new, $6 million network of pedestrian maps, oriented in the direction
that the viewer is facing — so that someone looking east from Lower
Manhattan, for instance, might find the Brooklyn Bridge at the top of
the display.
The maps, to be installed on sidewalks and inside subway stations, will
include the locations of transit hubs and bike lanes, as well as
estimated walking times for pedestrians.
