Do you ever have debates with your friends on which is the shortest way to travel between two Places in your city? And then end up measuring the distance on your vehicle, to find out who wins?

Well, you may no longer need to hit the roads for that. A simple Google Map will solve your problem.

And if this doesn’t impress you much, then another way to find the shortest route between any two points in your city (especially in India) is to hire a PREPAID auto rickshaw. Rest assured, the auto driver will take you from the shortest possible route (you like it or you don’t!). Just Kidding !! its worth to give a try.. !!
