SadakMap.com is a new, local listings + Google Maps mashup site. To use this site, first and foremost, you have to register for the service. Once you do that, you can place markers for any local businesses, restaurants, and places of interest on the map.

The best part about this site is that you can also add reviews to any listing and rate a listing. The first impression that I got from the site is that they want to form a social networking community. At this moment of time, site uses Google Maps API to leverage Google Maps as part of the collaborative interaction.

Point to be noted here is that Google Maps can very easily be substituted by other alternatives and mashed up with the data SadakMap has collected. SadakMap has taken the assistance of a map interface as a backdrop to display local information. It is quite straightforward for people to relate to information displayed on a map and making it interactive makes the map come alive.

The India Street Rating: 8/10
