Dear Prabhas, Thanks for your messages. I know that Dibyendra Hyouju at MPP was working on Google map applications with GIS data from ICIMOD. I know about this because I was helping him in his thesis work as a co-supervisor. Dr. Sanat Bista from LTK was his supervisor. I suggest you to contact Dibyendra or Dr. Bista from Language Technology Kenda for more details. I think Dibyendra's experience would be useful.
