Yahoo India Maps as a pincode service

with 2 comments

My dad used to be a master of pincodes in Chennai. He has been and around Chennai for such a long time that he can beat the Head Post Master to his Job. Infact, it was one of our favorite time pass activities. I used to get hold of an yearly diary that had Pincodes of Chennai city as an addendum and then I will pick and ask Pincodes of random and weird localities that nobody goes to in Chennai. And he used to be right every time.

Now, You don’t have to live in a city for 30 years to know it’s pincodes. You can leave that job to Yahoo India Maps . The next time you have a pincode with you and you are wondering where that place is, go ask Yahoo India Maps.

For instance, 600001 is Chennai GPO, 560034 is Koramangala, bangalore. Those are my places.
What Pincode are you?

  1. cool feature :) ,but it doesn’t seem to work well for the reverse case. This is the scenario where I occasionally get stuck with the courier guy insisting to get a pin code for addresses. Could find it for certain searches, but missing in a lot of places… does it depend on the granularity of search? or some other criterion?
