Here is a list of all important Monuments (and associated places which are not mentioned in Google Maps), which are serial numbered and connected to the “Zonal Maps”.

This list is also a ‘Planner’ which can help you to cover from one end of Mahabalipuram to the other end, without losing any POIs.

Explanation of the Chart

  • Sl. No: The Serial Numbers are marked as the location of the POI in the Zonal Maps- hence it is important.

  • POI (Point of Interest) is the Name of the place.

  • Google Maps Link/Others: Hyperlinks to POIs marked in Google Maps or a supplementary link when the location is not available in the Google Maps.

  • Importance (Heritage): According to me, the Heritage value of each POI is marked with 5 as the best

  • Importance (Photography): The Photographic importance of each POI, with 5 at the top, where you have a lot of scope for taking photos.

  • Duration in Minutes: This is the minimum time required to have a quick look at the POI, excluding travel time & time for purchasing the ticket, etc.

Thanks for the tag, @TravellerG .

No, I think you missed all the links I provided to you on my previous reply.

In Google Maps you can Create a list of places . In this way you can help others to explore, and a list can also be featured in Maps, becoming a reference

"In Google Maps you can Create a list of places"

This point, I have noted & shall do it too.

However, for your information, in this part of the world, people very rarely (Hardly) use Google Maps LIST.

Surely will do it for the other parts of the world.

Thanks for resending your previous response -

Unfortunately, my response to your post is missing…

Mostly, missed from my end.

To be honest with you, with the projects I am handling today (for Google & guiding other LGs),

I may not be able to do justice with:

However, thanks for your suggestions - I shall explore both these, as soon as possible.

Thanks for your kind support, friend @ErmesT

:pray:

I agree

There is a LOT of work in creating a Project in Google Earth and in My Maps, @TravellerG , @Muhammad_Usman , and not a lot of people know how to do that.

I have some of them shared here in Connect, and I rewriting the Google My Maps manuals, for an easy way to add contents.

I will host a few meet-ups on the next month’s just about Earth and My Maps.

Why I believe this can be interesting: because both projects are sharable, so it is possible to have more trusted people working together on a common project. This can increase the strength of a community, and creating contents sharable worldwide. Visual communication is very important to share the beauty of an area

This is a tremendous effort on your part to have created a wonderful and immensely useful article @TravellerG

I wish I had such detailed information on my last visit to Mahabalipuram 2 years ago.

Now I think I should go back and visit the place once again equipped with this encyclopedia of Mahabalipuram.

Thanks a lot :+1: :pray:

Hello @ErmesT Ji

You have valuable points in all the below points:

(1) because both projects are sharable, so it is possible to have more trusted people working together on a common project.

(2) This can increase the strength of a community, and creating contents sharable worldwide.

(3) Visual communication is very important to share the beauty of an area.

Agree, fully.

I will host a few meet-ups on the next month’s just about Earth and My Maps.

That will be a great help.

By the by:

Is there any way to know whether our Maps list is seen/used by another LG or user?

Thanks

Hello dear @TusharSuradkar Ji

This is the FIRST TIME I am getting such an Inspirational response in LG Connect, from an LG friend.

I am so thankful to you for your kind words.

I shall try to provide all the information, including the difficulties which I faced.

Hope to get your support for future posts, too.

With sincere regards

Well, @TravellerG

Your passion for traveling, your passion for photography, your passion for quality photos, your eye-for-detail when capturing photos, and your untiring efforts to present the best of your experiences for the benefit of the local guides community in the most helpful way cannot escape the attention of readers.

I have always appreciated your posts though I think it is entirely a failure and misfortune on my part if I have missed out on something in the past.

Many thanks to you… :pray:

Your kind words really touch my heart… truly lack words to express my feelings, dear friend @TusharSuradkar

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

When compared to the dedication you are putting in, I have not done anything!!!

I am trying in my humble way to contribute - that is all what I know.

"…a failure and misfortune on my part if I have missed out on something in the past…

Not at all - what God’s decision that happens -past is past & let us move forward.

Once thank you for all your supports.

With most sincere regards
