GPS directions in 'Madras tamizh'
I use GPS directions in two ways. I have a
MapMyIndia ZX 250
which I forget to take most times, and during those times when I forget to take the GPS device, I use Google Maps.
Recently, Google Maps surprised me with an Indian sounding voice. Very nice. That set me thinking ofcourse, of how it would be if the Directions were given in 'Madras Tamizh' or
Madras Baashai
as it is sometimes called. For those not in the know, this is mostly the tamizh that the auto drivers use, and mostly made famous by
'Loose Mohan' in tamizh cinema
.
