Ziya:
"What impressed you?"

Mike:
"That it's all done in DHTML..."

Also mentioned on another list, an Indian map site, also done in DHTML
http://mapmyindia.com does much the same and more.

Although the quality, accuracy and detail isn't comparable but at least
in some respects such as download speed and ease of marking major
landmarks, it's actually better than Google Maps and Mapquest.

To see how it works, search for Juhu, Mumbai, Maharashtra. You can plot
hotels, banks, ATMs etc on the map using the menu on right. One cannot
however, link to a particular location without subscription.

The design of the site is led by a 19 years old Stanford sophomore,
Rohan Verma. http://nripulse.com/Archives/Profile_Rohan.htm
