Officials have unveiled CityMap, a new feature on the city government’s Web site, at nyc.gov/citymap (http://nyc.gov/citymap).

The CityMap includes City Council district and Community Board boundaries, links to results of restaurant inspections, locations of subway entrances and exits, and aerial views of the city.

The tool also allows users to find addresses for the nearest wireless Internet hot spots, senior centers, libraries, post offices, farmers’ markets, after-school programs and other services.

Boundaries of fire companies, police precincts and landmark and business improvement districts are also included.

Eventually, city officials said, bus routes and bicycle paths will be added to the site, which was unveiled on Thursday.
