One of the irritating facts about maps is the fact that it is difficult to actually locate a place of importance. We have been planning a small vacation and every time we look at a map, especially on Google Maps, it does show the location of places and definitely helps in finding out routes if you know where you are going. Now if you don’t really know where you are going and just want to discover things, Google maps by itself is not very handy. But the community has woken up to fill in the gap, people have started using Google Map Maker to make special maps of places of interest and the sort. Here are some Maps for Dubai

Hope the above maps are useful, Please let me know of more that you can think of.
