Where do you want to go driving today?

This weekend I want to drive from Bangalore to Coorg. I was just wondering it would be nice if I have a web site that can give me driving directions (in India). Otherwise I would have to ask my friends for the route, on the way stop by shops, etc and ask for directions. Its a pain!

Just when it was the most needed, Yahoo! India Maps has come up with driving directions. It works like a charm. I can now type “bangalore to madikeri” and get the driving directions. Awesome.

But wait, what if I want to visit Mysore on the way. No problem, I can use queries like “bangalore to madikeri via mysore“.

No need to print the directions, just use the “Send this to my Mobile” feature! Now thats kick ass!

    Hmm, that’s a definite one-up on GMaps ;-)

    Hmm, that’s a definite one-up on GMaps ;-) However, the Y! Maps site doesn’t like the most standards-compliant browser that is available at the moment (Opera), and simply refuses to load the page! I think that’s really pathetic!
