Great news! Google have updated their maps for Mauritius!
If you've ever tried to browse Google Maps (& Google Earth) or Live Maps for Mauritius, then you must have noticed that most of the roads were wrong!!! Not only the labels, but the map itself is completely off-way. Like above on Live Maps!
Well, Google or the mapping company commissioned by Google have finally sorted things out, with so much precision that I'm certain they enlisted Mauritians to do it. :)
So what we now have is the most complete Map of Mauritius!
But the best thing is that this map is accessible from your phones. Say you want directions in Port Louis... grab your S60 (or iPhone), open the Google Maps app & off you go! With A-GPS, you can have your exact location & even turn-by-turn navigation.
Next time you're lost at UOM, you now know what you need to do...
Can you identify my house? LOL ;)

lol, I noticed this too, while making the map for dhaneesha's blog post.
Even for Quatre Bornes, the names of all the streets have been mentioned!
Your house?

You are now known as "The mysterious guy"!
@Yashvin
LOL :)
Those google maps are really useful, I remember being able to locate a garage in Phoenix a week ago, thanks to it. :S
It's amazing the impact google can have on our lives. :P
@morinn
Mauritians will become more Google-savvy now that the new Google Map is really very useful.
Dunno if it's really good to be so dependent on Google. :)
Great. Let me try locating my house now :P
last time i checked, my house wasnt visible, only the plot of land was there.. i hope they can make me surf inside my house too ..lol
Well i've already spotted a few mistake in the road names and there are street in grand bay which are in the see lol. a few mistakes there
@Anonymous
Yeah, I also notice that some of the roads were in the sea. LOL :P
But it was only on the map, the satellite view is ok. ;)
Anyone can contribute to the map. This can be done at Google Map Maker. You can also make changes if there are.
it great!!!
now i can use this as guide map.
still there are some mistake such as at Souillac, the road (bridge) that join the B9-B10 to the A9 road is missing.
At port louis there are some 'ghost' roads over the sea
And here is a tutorial for Google Maps made in paper :) (just for fun)
Pretty sure you'll like it.

Sadly most road names in rural areas have been omitted.
Hmm... Is there the street names now? Last time I checked, there were no street names. Not very useful for navigation.
Seriously, we need to have a complete map/GPS map of Mauritius now. It's becoming a must.
A Cyber Island that's not on the map. Call that irony! :P
@Inf
Unfortunately the "lesser" street names in villages aren't included.
Yes, we do need a navigation map. But with a market as small as Mauritius, it doesn't make sense for the mapmakers to make one. :|
Hey in port-louis, etienne pellereau is MISSING ;)
Hie everyone, i'm from mauritius.Can anyone tells me how to dounload the Mauritius maps on Google maps using internal GPS
Great stuff! However, I am still "patiently" waiting for the route calculation to be available in Mauritius to be able to fully appreciate the power of Google Maps.
@Blue Eagle
South Africa recently got the additional features (link). Hopefully Mauritius isn't far away. :)
