Content in the local language of the region is also linked http://in.ourcity.yahoo.com The site is linked to the other resource launched here: `India Maps' consolidates satellite imagery and street maps for 170 Indian cities, 4,785 towns and over 2.20 lakh villages — arguably the largest India-specific cartographic service available on the Internet. The map data have been provided in collaboration with the India-based CE Info Systems — and Yahoo spokespersons were quick to point out that all imagery was compliant with Indian government guidelines. Users could merge street maps with satellite pictures to create hybrid maps of their own. http://in.maps.yahoo.com/ Back to top Nimish Member Joined: 16 Dec 2006 Posts: 9757 Location: Bangalore, India Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 3:02 pm    Post subject: This is a great move from Yahoo, and finally some place where it's a step ahead of Google!
