Placeopedia Â

Just got to know about Placeopedia, a simple site to connect Wikipedia articles about places like Ambala, Chandigarh to their geographical position on google maps. No points for guessing which places I have pin pointed :D

Ambala

Chandigarh

Punjab Engineering College

Please switch to Hybrid view once you are there. While in Ambala - try to find the air force strip, and in Chandigarh you can see the lovely Sukhna Lake. Too many fond memories associated with it. Here is a pic for your eyes

Â Punjab Engineering College

Create you places. Let us tag this round planet :D

This is as if Hitch Hiker’s guide of Galaxy is being written. Imagine you are just gazing thru the Google Maps, you see some place you like and want to find more about it, there is the information right there for you.
