World Maps

If you want to roam around a country, buy a map in your home country. If possible get one with both the name of the city in your language, and below it the name of the city in the local language. You can then point at the city in the natives language. It will work a lot better than trying to say the word. If you cannot find a map like this, but the one in your language for reference, but English is always the best, then when you get to the country buy one in the local language. Better to have a big map on one page, then an Atlas with a lot of pages. Easier to layout your trip.

MapmyIndia v-2007 is just like Google Maps/Yahoo Maps. In fact, even better, MapmyIndia is

focused on India. Visit www.mapmyindia.com today.

If you want to see your house on a map (the street actually), visit MapmyIndia

(http://www.mapmyindia.com)

This is an Indian company-s initiative at creating an internet map site that will come up and

do as much as Google and Mapquest has done. We-re also adding an Indian twist to the things we

do. Check out this concept called -eLocation- MapmyIndia has introduced.

eLocation allows you to get maps and directions to a peron-s place, and the cool thing is that

it gives you the directions in the words of that person (take a left after you see a panwallah,

go inside that gate...u know, how people explani directions in India).

Search for this sample elocation and you-ll see what I mean. The id is: mapmyindia

Looking forward to your comments on the blog or through mail (my email address is:

shashi@mapmyindia.com)

Thanks and hope you can enjoy India in much much more detail =)
Shashi Prakash (on behalf of the MapmyIndia team)
