Hi Naveen I notice lots of monuments do not have geo coordinates so I guess this is what you mean - users should still be able to search though if they know what they are looking for! :)
I wonder if there is a way the app could add coordinates to these monuments where they are missing... would be a great way to crowd source some geo data....
