Rama's Happy Thoughts

In india, maps are regulated (as a part of defense measure [doh!]). Survey of India, restricts it [More here]. As a result, maps of india are so limited except for outline maps and you pretty much get to see that and only that in atlas of india. How sad. I lived in india (tamilnadu) for 20 years and i haven't really saw a detailed india map. Anyways, thanks to microsoft mappoint, i finally get to put some maps online.

The URLs from expedia are like:
http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=mmvw&lmap=2&xofs=-1368&yofs=-2391&clvl=6

And the map alone is like,
http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=mrdt&ID=3XNsF.&CenP=23,84&Lang=WLD0409&Alti=500&Size=996,808&Offs=-1368,-2392

where, CenP is centroid (x,y), Alti is probably zoom, size is the size of the image (it takes [656 x 532], [996 x 808], [1228 x 996], [1816 x 1514]) and Offset is probably offset mapping, of which i have no idea.
