Find Subway outlets

                                                                                      Outlet
Hankering for a sub? Where is the nearest Subway outlet? Had a crappy morning and need to sink your teeth into a warm fresh crispy sub? How can you locate the Subway closest to you? To find a Subway restaurant or outlet, use the official Subway locator. This is an interactive map that you can use to find an outlet near you. It will search based on a simple address and given distance from the address. The locations of the outlets will be shown on a map. This is where it gets a bit tricky. The map will show the locations of the restaurants that are listed on the page. If there are more locations close by, you have to view the next page to see more restaurants on the map. For KL, which has a high density of restaurants, this is confusing because it does not show you the closest restaurants first.
The map is not hard to use but can be sometime very wrong in terms of location. Try entering KLCC and see where they put the star. But the results are still valid because it does show the closest restaurants within a mile.
There is another option you can use. You can also find Subway restaurants with the Subway country page's official locator. This is a form based search which only gives you the address of the restaurant. You have to use another map like Google Map to find your way to that location. The search regularly fails if you don't put in a zip code or post code. Even if you enter the location correctly, it will fail because the address is entered in their database wrong. At least with the official subway locator, it will give you results based on an approximate location because it's based on Google Maps.
If don't believe me, try looking for the Wangsa Walk Mall outlet and see which one you can find it faster.

By the way, you can't find the KLCC Subway outlet because the address is incorrectly entered. It is listed as not in any state here.
