Microsoft map of India (now just Bangalore)

You must have read about this on the news. Here's the actual map, in case you haven't been able/bothered to find it yet. And the project page. (Among other things, it says, "even though the underlying technology can scale very well, our current site is fairly small – implemented on 3 servers -- and can easily get swamped if too many people try to use the system."). Now it has details only of Bangalore. But whatever it has seems to be well-detailed -- down to the last 'cross-road' and 'main-road'. But don't know how accurate.

And the map seems to show some labels in Tamil by default -- click on English/Kannada (why not ;) above to change to other language if needed. (Before Muthu starts smirking about the Tam feature, lemme point out that Chennai is not pointed out on the map, so maybe they are compensating)

Way to go! But I was expecting Google to be the first to do this -- look out for Google to hit back with something better in the near future!

And yes, I know what time it is :)
