A while back I built a special map in Google Maps to list all the stops around my house with links to the transit tracker. You can see the map I made, although it is not of much use unless you live in Lair Hill (in Portland, OR).

Today I just noticed that the standard Google Maps interface now has little icons around Portland for each bus stop – and if you click on them you get the tracker information for each stop. This is great stuff! You do need to zoom in down quite a bit to see the stops, and it does include the streetcar, Aerial Tram and Max lines. Very cool. All they need to do now is put the Stop ID for each stop as well. I have also noticed that not all stops are shown, but there are plenty enough to get by.

PS. Sometimes this stuff rolls out to just a limited audience, so I am not sure if everyone can see the stops on google maps yet.
