Since I am interested in both transit and cartography, it has led to me creating a lot of maps in my time, so here is a central location where you can look at and download all of them.

How to view/edit

I use a lot of different software to create maps, meaning that the way you can view/edit the map differs a lot. You can usually tell what type of file it is by looking at the file suffix (.txt, .exe, etc), so heres how to open every file type that I have made:

.pdf – A PDF is a universal document format for viewing documents. To view a PDF, you should be able to open it within your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari… any will work). I wouldn’t recommend editing PDFs, any PDF I provide will have a second download for a file type that is more meant for editing.

.ai – AI is short for Adobe Illustrator, one of the most popular programs for creating vector graphics. You will need to obtain Adobe Illustrator (or another vector graphics program that can read .ai files) to open and edit this file. Is usually paired with a .pdf file, which is suggested for viewing.

.kmz – A location file used by Google. I typically create these using Google Earth, and that’s usually the best way to view/edit them. I will usually share a link with the file so that you can view the map using Google Earth’s online website, but the file is there for those who would like to edit.

What am I allowed to do with the files?
