No maps. Only satellite imagery. you can go about this in a reverse way. Browse to a known location on google maps and then extract the coords. Eg http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=19.196101,72.987344&ie=UTF8&z=18&t=h&om=1 will show u Shivaji chowk kalwa. So using a combo of google and local knowledge you can create a fairly decent map. Again the idiots who are responsible for running this country have masked out many areas because of security. so u cant see these locations in India. But sitting in hamburg u can see everything. God these dolts need a dummies guide to info on the internet. Also they have missed many areas by miles, keeping exposed the actual area to be secured and covering up highways and villages. Looks like they use their arms to survey. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
