Several 1000 shares and likes and comments across the social networking sites. Over 500 email followers and around 100 likes on the Facebook page     Not bad at all, for an unknown guy, new to the world of Google Maps and new to blogging.     When I look back at the last 2 years of sharing and learning, I realize that I have got so much from the community.

Writing this blog has helped me keep updated with the Google Maps technology and things around it!     Moreover, I’d like to thank each and every one of you who visits my blog, reads my content, views
