TTK Maps launches "Map Track" India CD

From My-India.Net

TTK Maps-- the publication division of TTK Healthcare Limited-- has launched "Map Track", a collection of digital maps in CD-Rom. This CD envisages serving as a valuable and veritable source of information with over 700 detailed maps of India. "The TTK Map Track" CD presents comprehensive and authentic range of Indian Maps. It is a collection of the latest maps covering the various facets of India.

Full article.

Why, as a map lover, am I not getting excited about this CD?

I've never been impressed with TTK's maps, will this CD be any different?

Because a map only gives the user a false sense of security? For exam, will the map tell you if:

1. A road will be blocked by construction debris
2. A road is a one way street ?
3. Even if you get to the street, there will be no sign (or it will be ina language you cannot read) to confirm.
4. the street numbering system makes no sense. So, even if you find the street, you may need to spend hours to locate the address
5. Many more reason that other members may choose to contribute

BTW, google maps have some pretty decent maps of Indian cities.
