Google Earth was a tool begging to be exploited. Thankfully someone has.
I never understood, why none of the leading chains put up their maps/directions using Google Earth. Even today most have written directions or worse no directions as at all.
The Taj Hotels website tajhotels.com has a map that is not to scale & really I've been to Delhi, that map is dificult.
The Oberoi Hotels website oberoihotels.com doesnt have maps. Check out Cecil shimla instructions at http://www.thececil.com/en-US/Hotel/TG_LocationAccess.aspx
Is your hotel using it? Let me know.
