Be aware, though, Zingo, that this and most (all?) other similar maps
available tend to link the correctly positioned station marks with "a
curve", regardless of the actual shape the tracks take. A good
example here is Ealing Broadway, where the District should run north a
bit before joining the Piccadilly route and *then* crossing the
Central line and diving south to Ealing Common.

Google maps gets it spectacularly wrong: http://tinyurl.com/3xt2cke

Google maps, or rather Tele-Atlas who provide their London maps, can't
even show above-ground Underground lines properly on the basic maps, let
alone the coloured line overlays that you're referring to. The District
is shown from Ealing Broadway to Ealing Common, and then disappears.

Incidentally, has anyone managed to get any of the many errors on Google
maps corrected? I've tried several times to get missing railway lines
added, wrong road names corrected, green areas corrected, with no
success at all.
