Yahoo! India Maps

Yahoo! has 170 cities, 4785 towns and more than 220,000 village maps that's searchable on features that can be address, street name or things like ATM or hospital locations. Yahoo! alongwith CE Infosystems have produced the maps. Ever since getting involved in GIS services this is one thing I have been hearing about such detailed maps in Indian context. Looks like it's happening finally. GIS is certainly going to become mainstream soon.

Another offering from Yahoo that's interesting is "our city". This site aggregates dynamic content about specific cities, available currently for 20 of them.

Really interesting!!!
