TinyMap - A Google Map Based Service

Today I found TinyMap, a web site powered by Google Maps that is different! TinyMap allows you to create a map, save it and link to it from anywhere you like. Really cool.

I create a small map of Hyderabad, India. I pou two POIs or Points of Interest. The first is Steel & Mines Complex, Srinagar Colony where we stay. The second is Taramandal Complex, Saifabad, which houses the offices of CMO, SAIL, where Padmaja works as a Marketing Manager. Then I created (Connected) Waypoints between these two POIs showing the shortest route betweel Srinagar Colony & Taramandal Complex. Saved the whole thing as a map. Done!

Here is the map link. Check it out!

It works like this. You enter the site and describe your start position on the map. Next, You enter your destination or search for outlet or service. Within seconds you will shown the shortest route to your destination with important landmarks and relevant information to get you there. And because this map is updated regularly, You’ll always have access to going-on in the city.
