Yes, but it would be easier for you to put a tube map in your own
washing machine.

This is a good website to show some early underground maps.

Googling 'geographic london tube map' worked for me...

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.

For the surface bits, overlaying the OS map on Multimap may give the
detail you want (depending on level of accuracy required).

Yes, that's a good example. Another in the same area is the way that
Chiswick Park station is shown as being some distrance south of the
Piccadilly Line, whereas the Picc tracks are actually between the
District tracks all the way from Barons Court to Acton Town.

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.
