Err print what ?

with 2 comments

Sridhar pointed out this, the other day. Go to Google maps. Search for Chennai. Click on “Find business” tab. Search for a business, like pizza. Click on print map. God Bless America.

Interestingly, the map is of some place called coffeyville in Kansas. Do they know folks at chennai drink a lot of coffee ? :)

No, it is just centre of the United states, with whatever zoom level you choose to view the Indian location with!

  1. Awesome job!

    This is sweet, and pretty fluid. There still seems to be a few glitches in locating addresses. My home, CR Park, New Delhi…I’m sure time will iron out the kinks.

    Few questions.

    Will this be available via the Yahoo Maps API

    Also, I don’t think the current version is in Flash (or is it), if not can we expect that soon as well?

    Thanks and keep up the great work!

  2. Thanks Nav,
    It is amazing you like it. I agree that search still has a long way to go. We are working on it and will defnly get better.

    Answers:
    Yes, it will be available via the Yahoo maps API one way or the other. Give us sometime before that.

    I dont know about flash. I will bring this up with folks later.
