Map of important things in Chennai

whynot222 · Jun 19th, 2009, 07:22

Hi All,

I was starting a map of important things in Chennai for myself in Google Maps, but thought I would share it with all of you, so that we could collaborate and make it even better.

Right now misc (mostly shopping) is in blue and restaurants are in red.

Hope we can make this a really wonderful tool for people new to the area or who are interested in expanding their horizons.

We could also expand this make to areas near chennai like pondi...feel free to add what you wish!

I think link was alright but for some reason there was an extra space in between 90 and a in second line

Yep.... it's a great effort. Well done, whynot222

Bookmarked.

Glad to see it worked! Please feel free to add any other places of interest to it!

This is one of the most usefull tools I've seen.

Looking forward to ground testing.

Now, if we could somehow overlay PLaneMad's transport routes onto this map, I'd be set!

Thanks for sharing, what a great idea.

Without going into very specific details, how do you go about either adding information to your map, or starting one of your own?

Got it and it is nice.I wanted to mark my place but then...

girlfromvenus · Jun 27th, 2009, 18:41

that's a really good idea. If I have a little time and patience left I will make myself some maps for my trip with all important locations marked.

Be sure to mark Amethyst where a Chennai meet up is scheduled
