I have gone through your message. Myself having a information which is use full to Hyderabad people.
Now you can search for Business addresses, big landmarks with clear maps of Hyderabad. ilaka.in-team has implemented this

ILAKA is the twin cities most comprehensive resource locater. Simply put, WE can find anything one. And all this with one of the mouse.
It works like this. You enter the site and describe your start position on the map. Next, You enter your destination or search for outlet or service. Within seconds you will shown the shortest route to your destination with important landmarks and relevant information to get you there. And because this map is updated regularly, You’ll always have access to going-on in the city.
Now imagine what this service could do for your business. Potential customers will notice your presence on the map and know exactly how to get your place of business. This will include tourists to the city, businessmen and travelers, foreign visitors and city locals who had no previous knowledge of your services.
