Hi Arun,
Sure, should you be around, drop in at PI and I'll show you all the local sight-seeings. Like, the pyramid of barrels, the smallest Starbucks on the planet, and the world's most stupid parking lot exit.
Some of those steps are pretty big (big foot steps?)

Some places don't even shop up on maps.google.com like Tel-Aviv, Israel.
(No street map of Tel-Aviv. Only a satellite map).

Google Maps is just a little less than complete atm(http://tinyurl.com/24mls7). All roads from the West more or less end in Moscow. They have India, Hong Kong and Japan, though. But no way from Moscow to the East, though there is one in reality (http://tinyurl.com/38lzgz ).
