  • Online maps and Indian Road atlas

    Hey guys.. This is regarding Online maps and the road atlas.
    There are plenty of web sites where one can get road maps of different states and different cities, namely mapsofindian.com and all...

    I have been using mapsofindia till now for my map related queries.

    But while reading trip logs here and on other web sites I've seen people using specific maps, customized maps to be precise and which is very helpful for trip logs and personal usage. I tried finding the solution on mapsofindia.com and other sites like google maps. But no success. Mapsofindia didnt help at all and google maps was helpful but I was unable to save those maps on my system.

    Here's an example of what I m talking bout.



    Can someone tell/guide me on how to make such customized maps? Are there any specific web sites for this? This particular map seems to be done on mapsofindia.com So can someone pls guide me how to do it?


    Also I want to buy a comprehensive atlas for my personal use, while m out for touring. Where can i buy such a map in Mumbai? I tried a few road atlas in local stores here in Dadar but they were not as good as eicher atlas. Where can I get such atlas in Mumbai?

    Your help is highly appreciated.
    Thanx in Advance..

                  I DONT KNOW HOW OLD THIS THREAD IS BUT I STILL PREFER THE EICHER ROAD MAP....
                  GOOGLE MAPS IS GOOD FOR LOCATION MAPPING BUT THEN EICHER ROAD MAP TAKES YOU TO PLACES...highly recommended product for touring...

                    Can u tell me where can i get it in Mumbai? I m very well aware of eicher road maps..and that's a book if m not wrong...

                    But here my first question was that how can i make a customized map like the one i've posted above.. in which only the route we traveled gets highlighted and the rest is faint..

                    Can u help me on that front..?

                    Here some of the suggestions are of a GPS device i think.. but m not goin for a GPS device as of now...

                          Checked it out yesterday. Good stuff! But you need to buy something which amounts to more than 200INR. Only then they agree for a delivery!

                            ^^ ohh is that so..?
                            and i also remember i saw some wher an eicher map book or atlas which was much thicker(consisting more pages than this one)and costing around 350 INR..

                            Any idea about this one ? and isn't there any outlet from where we can buy the atlas directly and no need of online buying hassel?

                              i guess you are talking about this
                              the guys at bcmtouring seem to like it

                              and what all hassles of online purchasing are you referring to?
