MapmyIndia.com, a 2-year-old, only online maps portal
for the country has unveiled v-2007, its easier-to-use, futuristic
version.
The new version exploits the Web 2.0 platform to
introduce a number of features such as providing detailed maps at
different zoom levels on the Net and other offerings such as Mapsearch,
eLocation, Driving Directions, and Local Search.
Rakesh Verma,
managing director, CE Info Systems, the parent company of MapmyIndia.com,
said "The new version brings online mapping closer to the consumer
expectations. It is a manifestation of our efforts to make MapmyIndia an
accessible, usable, and valuable proposition for users."
The
v-2007 allows users to drag the maps to explore adjoining areas not
currently on the screen. In the previous version of MapmyIndia i.e. v-2006
that is now called as MapmyIndia Classic the users need to click on tabs
bordering the map eyeview, leading to a fresh reload of the page,
resultant delay, and a distinct break to the continuity of the user's map
exploration process.
In contrast to that, now the users need to
simply slide the zoom bar up or down to zoom in or out, respectively.
The eLocation service, which was at a conceptual stage earlier,
now allows users to draw their own route on the map from the closest
landmark. Explaining this further, Verma said "This visual depiction
completely eliminates the hassles of going round and round, seeking
directions in the last-mile lap of the journey."
Further, the
v-2007 also provides the enhanced driving directions application. It shows
the route for inter-city and intra-city directions on the map along with
the textual, turn-by-turn directions. Using the new right-click option,
users can visually mark-out their start and destination points on the map
to get directions.
Additionally, the new version details a number
of other categories of landmarks and points of interest (PoIs) to enable a
precise search of any location in India.
All these services are
provided absolutely free of charge on the Net and they are in the process
of integrating the service with mobile devices too.
In the future,
MapmyIndia plans the realm of navigation, which would eliminate the
location-based hassles.
