How to Use the Interactive DC Metro Map

  • Zoom and move the map. Scroll with the mouse wheel or pinch on a phone to zoom, and drag to move. The buttons on the right zoom in and out, re-center on your station or route, reset the view and open full screen. With the map focused, the arrow keys move it and the plus and minus keys zoom.
  • Find a station. Type part of a name in the search box, such as "gallery" or "airport". Former names and nearby landmarks also work, for example "White Flint" or "Nationals Park". Choose a result to zoom to the station and open its details.
  • Show or hide lines. Use the switch next to each line to show or hide it, or the frame button to zoom to that line. Hiding lines makes busy downtown sections easier to read.
  • Plan a route. Open the Plan a route tab and choose a starting station and a destination, or select them on the map. The planner follows the real track connections and shows which trains to take, the direction to ride, where to change trains and the number of stops. The swap button reverses the trip.
  • Spot transfer stations. Transfer stations have larger station circles with a heavier outline. On a planned route, the start has a bold ring and the destination is a solid circle.
  • Share a station or trip. The page address updates as you select a station or plan a route, so you can bookmark it or send the link to someone.
