Google Maps introduces 2 new features

Update Nov.20: Click to call includes Canada and new link that explains Search History feature..

Google Maps Click-to-call:

Looking for a business on Google Maps in the US or Canada? If you'd like to talk to them on the telephone, simply click the "call" link and enter your phone number to be connected. Local and long distance charges are also covered. Here is an example search for hardware stores in Detroit. [Read news and blogosphere analysis on this feature]

Google Personalized Search now includes Google Maps - From the Google Blog posting: means you'll no longer have to remember searches you do for addresses, businesses, or directions on Maps. Instead, you'll be able to browse, search for, and bookmark them directly from your search history, just as you already can with your web, images, news, Froogle, and video history. Google has this page to provide you more information on the feature.

MapmyIndia v-2007 is just like Google Maps/Yahoo Maps. In fact, even better, MapmyIndia is focused on India. Visit www.mapmyindia.com today.

If you want to see your house on a map (the street actually), visit MapmyIndia (www.mapmyindia.com)

This is an Indian company's initiative at creating an internet map site that will come up and do as much as Google and Mapquest has done. We're also adding an Indian twist to the things we do. Check out this concept called 'eLocation' MapmyIndia has introduced.

eLocation allows you to get maps and directions to a peron's place, and the cool thing is that it gives you the directions in the words of that person (take a left after you see a panwallah, go inside that gate...u know, how people explani directions in India).

Search for this sample elocation and you'll see what I mean. The id is: mapmyindia

Looking forward to your comments on the blog or through mail (my email address is: cswebmedia@mapmyindia.com)

Thanks and hope you can enjoy India in much much more detail =)
