City's PATH needs better maps
We were walking from Union Station to the Eaton Centre along Yonge St. It started to rain heavily. We took shelter in the PATH, the walkway under one of the many office buildings. We were stuck. There were no usable maps, only listings of stores in the building. The one general map we found didn't show where we were. No directions to be found. All PATH signs pointed to other buildings, a severe challenge for someone who doesn't know the names of them all. Not even the compass of the map or layout could be found. Which direction were we moving in? We were not alone, dozens of people we approached were as lost as we were. It took us a long time with many questions to strangers resulting in many trips down store-laden paths to finally find the Eaton Centre.
