I always impressed with Google Maps ability to show us places and direction, even at the most 'distant' location we never been.

For example, this morning I need to know how to get from Ritz-Carlton (the hotel) to nearest Apple Store in KL, ... and wham within a few second Google Maps show me the direction.

With this, tomorrow morning, I could just easily fly to KL, navigate from the hotel to the store with ease, as if I am (almost) already native there for 'years'. :-P

I imagine if we can do this also in Jakarta! Finding quick answer to question such as:

• "How to get from Sudirman to the nearest, yet most delicious warung Bakso in my area ?... "
  
• Or -- even more significant -- "Now is raining, where flood start to happen in Jakarta roads?" ..
  
• and ... "Where traffic jam mostlikely start to occur (due to the heavy rain) ??".
  

Jakarta Map and road pointer (on Google) I guess need to be detailed significantly better, then everybody would benefit from it too!.

I believe IT shall be a "tool" that embrace and empower society, enable everybody to do things for the better!
