The world, described!

Thanks to Vasanth Vaidyanathan's recent blog, I now have a topic to blog about!

More than once, I'd felt quite lost trying to look out for driving instructions to a particular place in Bangalore, until I discovered Wikimapia. Just click on the city and you can search at a building-level to zero in on the exact coordinates.

Found the coordinates for a place that you think is popular? Wikimapia provides you with an option to mark that place with a name. But, going by personal experience, for a city like Bangalore, it's less likely that a popular place's coordinates is not already marked!

By the way, sorry if I had deprived the in-house cartographic talents of a chance to showcase their skills! :-)
