Mumbai Blasts on Google Maps

I have created a Google Maps Mashup of Mumbai Bomb Blasts. Check it out at: mibazaar (Miike Pegg of Google Maps Mania makes a mention of this Mashup in his blog)

I put this together by inputting the bomb blast locations into a MySQL Database and then exporting it in XML format, to Javascript.

Since I grew up in Mumbai, I was kind of familiar with where the railway stations were. So I used a mapping tool http://www.mibazaar.com/testlatlng.html to get Latitude/Longitude. In conjunction with this I referenced wiki on Mumbai Railway Stations, since I could not recollect where certain railway stations were heading North on Suburban Western Railway (It’s been years since I left Bombay/Mumbai).

more later….
