Dear Ayazi,
I went through the web link you mentioned and found
the map of INDIA you have displayed to be inaccurate and incorrect. Please
make sure you do not circulate such false information.
Regards,
Vinodh

Subject: GISList: Map of Afghanistan
Dear GIS enthusiast,
I have recently published (August 2001) what I consider to be the most
detailed map of Afghanistan in this scale (1:1,500,000). I took three years
to complete and has tons of details and information that you can not find in
a any available map of Afghanistan today. I used more than a dozen different
maps to create this and it wasn't easy to do, considering that I am neither
a geographer nor a trained cartographer.
Frustrated over not finding a detailed map of Afghanistan, I took it upon
myself to create one, just so that I could follow the civil war in my former
home. Since a lot of the fighting took place in smaller cities and villages
which most of the maps do not show, I felt that there was a need for a
detailed map that showed smaller tows, cities and roads. I started making
this map in late 1998 and after almost 3000 hours of hard work, mostly on my
spare time during weekends and nights, I finally published it in August.
Initially I published the map so I could provide a service for the Afghan
community in the United States, but then the September 11 incident
happened...
Now my map is in great demand and I get inquiries from schools, libraries
and map stores. This map was featured in three newspapers articles, the
Albuquerque Journal, the Dallas Morning News and the Denver Post.
Some of the details of the map include:
- Latest Administrative division of the country (all 31 provinces that non
of the older maps show).
- It shows more than 2500 cities, towns and villages.
- It features "Afghanistan at a Glance" in which a lot of important
information is given about the country.
- It has a "Timeline of Afghan History" that covers history of Afghanistan
from 5000BC.
- It has an inset map of south and central Asia indicating location of
Afghanistan, a very useful feature.
- It has a "Time Chart" for finding local time of more than a dozen major
cities around the globe.
- and much, much more ...
I wrote this note to you figuring you might be interested to know about it.
Please visit my website at www.afghanmap.com and let me know what you think.
I think you will find it interesting.
Thanks,
