I am looking for sam booklet map of india so it can be used page by page,
any recomendations? It's also good if it has samo tourist place briefings
but not necessery.
any amazon recomendations?

I have yet to find a decent map of India, or even a GPS map that'll run
on anything decent.

The Indian government seems strangely reluctant to allow its maps to be
sold in an electronic form for reasons nobody can understand. Probably
just the usual ghastly government inertia caused by some babu not wanting
to make a decision...

Ehm! There are a few mapping tools of free use. For instance Google Earth
and Google maps. Both of them covers much of India to a scale to cover
streets in detail (not all over India).

Except the street names are wrong.

And yes, I can give examples...


More over, both tools support
databases which locate everything a tourist wants to see and experience.
And a lot which is not of common interest. Those maps are scarce which
generate approriate routes between any given points and provide guidance
at every turning point. However, GPS navigation is still a great help in
India.

And how do you utilise Google Maps when travelling in India?

The place isn't exactly brimming with free WiFi and although Tata does have
CDMA mobile computing you can't get it unless you're a resident.

Plus the driver looking at your laptop when he's driving is a really great
way to die if you're in India

Once more you show an incredible bad grasp of how to apply technology to
travel in places where you don't have European levels of infrastructure.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
