Excellant resource.... Infact better than google maps if you ask me as roads and streets are elaborated better!!

Can someone move this out of off topic and into the main forums.

Great maps. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I spent most of a rainy day scanning a borrowed copy LP road atlas, these maps are almost identical.

Thanks Leith

i've just spent a few minutes looking at the south india areas, definitely a work in progress. no sravanabelagola, kumily, halebidu, national parks, etc. etc.

still, it's a good start. i'll be checking out their beta forums to see what's on the drawing boards.

An excellant map , though in WIP stage.

Lugubert · May 13th, 2006, 17:47

A quite useful thing. I'll be using it a lot, but so far, there's a different level of satisfaction by orders of magnitude when I on Google Earth can identify my street in Sweden as well as places I visited in Delhi.

Rothrock · May 13th, 2006, 23:09

Should I see something on that page? All I get is a header, but no map of any sort.

lalooprasadyadav · May 13th, 2006, 23:54

Are the Berkeley Uni 1:250,000 maps still available? I looked but couldn't get past the Index map.

i think they shut down the downloads. luckily i have the full set on my hard drive....

michaelpeterson · May 29th, 2006, 21:41

Any posibility of getting a good map of Delhi and Agra Areas from lalooprasadyadav?

New-South-Welshman · May 29th, 2006, 23:12

Oh my gods, this is an awesome map! I found the little town (little compared to Indian standards) I stayed in eastern UP. Sikandarpur, which is north of Ballia, basically on the border with Bihar. I could never get my hands on a map this specific. Wow, I can spend hours on this map! Cheers, Shaktipalooza!

do you you have the specific coordinates of this town? i could locate the 1:250,000 US Army Corp map grid for you.

New-South-Welshman · May 30th, 2006, 14:51

Well I don't know the coordinates, but if you look between Varanasi and Patna, you'll see the town of Ballia inbetween them, and if you look north a bit, you'll see Sikandarpur. I don't know if this helps, but let's see what you can do! Cheers!

Hi,
I am going to India this summer. Do I need to bring a map of the country?
Can you recommend a special one?
Thank you.

Do you need a map?

Probably not, but it might well help your planing and enhance your journey.
