[ILUG-Cochin.org] Google Mapping Party - Someone please enlighten us

[Deepak Narayan]

I don't understand what is the big noise about this. Google will mask the
sensitive areas from getting displayed in google maps on request from the
authorities.

The so called authorities lobbying against this should think if they can
provide such a useful and reliable service like google maps themselves
before pointing the finger against them.
