Thumbs up Search the Map of Indian Cities and places through Wikimapia.org

With slow connectivity and ancient PC at home I was feeling bad of not being able to use Google Earth. But even if I do many places are not searchable from Google Earth for India.

Now we have solution of mixing Wiki concept with Google Earth.

http://wikimapia.org you can search the places in India with this (provided someone knowledgeable has input the place details).

This is webbased, faster than Google Earth and I can search and add new places.

It is fun and addictive.

IMPORTANT NOTE : Please do not add your home or your friend's home. Add things that would be useful for many like some Land marks say a Park or Multiplex or Temple or Apartment Complex or Road names or Bridges and flyovers

Note to Admins/Mods : Could you change the title of the Thread to "Search the Map for Indian cities and places" coz the current title which I gave doesn't give clear picture on the intend of the post

I echo that.

I based my decision on whether or not to accept my relocation job offer to Chennai on the information contained within Wikipedia's Chennai page.

Thanks Aparajith.

Penri, this is wikimapia.org. Although Wikipedia is great too and may be the best thing after Google. I use it all the time.
