Google maps has a new beta feature that allows you to locate yourself on a map, without using a GPS. Of course to help non-techies understand what they do, they made a video. The point of the video is to locate a place that sells the famous London Curry (Aka. Chicken Tikka Masala). Since when did CTM become a British food? Apparently it is British, exported via a fob from Bangladesh. [Via]
Anyways, here is the video and you can download the google maps for your mobile phone (smart phones) here.

CTM was first created by Bangladeshi cooks in the U.K. So technically it is a British food of Bangladeshi origin.
No way. Really? I thought it was as Indian as Ambassadors.
Even the cooks who originally created CTM hailed from this specific region in Bangladesh. I forget the details but yes, it is the first truly westernized desi dish.
Apparently it is true, well kinda.
Thanks for the post guys. I was actually able to download this to my Verizon phone (non-GPS) in the US as well. Works reasonably well. (www.google.com/gmm)
Btw, on the CTM angle, UK ex-Foreign Secratery Jack Straw once was quoted as saying that “[something] is as British as Chicken Tikka Masala”

BPSK, you are welcome. My location thing does not work, but I have a GPS, plus the product is still in beta. I wish they had turn by turn directions. It would make life so much more easier.
