India map data

In case you haven't noticed yet, Google maps now has road data for a lot of Indian cities/towns. Most of the cities have information on important landmarks as well. For example, here are the map links for Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Trivandrum etc. Most of the national highways are covered as well. Let me know in case you find any issues with the maps.

Since joining Google, i haven't been able to spend time updating my blog as often i would like to. It has a lot to do with my laziness and a little to do with the lots of nice stuff that Iam doing here at Google. But i have been following quite a number of blogs regularly. So i guessed it would be nice to use the "shared posts" feature of Google reader to let you all know what iam reading :) You can now access my shared blog items (Thanks, Google reader!)
