May 09, 2008:
MapmyIndia Navigator, India’s most accurate and reliable in-car GPS
navigation device, has been adjudged Geospatial Product of the year
2008. Hon’ble Union Minister for Science & Technology and Earth
Sciences, Shri Kapil Sibal gave the award to MapmyIndia’s MD Rakesh
Verma at the Indian Geospatial Awards 2008 organized in New Delhi. The
Indian Geospatial Awards have been constituted to acknowledge the
services of path breakers and innovators who have contributed immensely
to the growth of the fast emerging geospatial technology and industry.
The
MapmyIndia Navigator since its launch in 2007 has been involved in
making the geospatial technology available for accurate and reliable
navigation across India. This portable, satellite-connected, in-car GPS
device provides real time, voice guided, turn by turn navigation for
seamless travel across India, be it intra-city or inter-city (not a
separate city map, and separate basic India map).
“It is a
proud moment for us at MapmyIndia. MapmyIndia maps, which power the
MapmyIndia Navigator, are the result of more than a decade of hard work
by our team of surveyors and IT specialists who have painfully mapped
out the contours of this very vast and diverse nation. This award is
the recognition of our teamwork and our dream of empowering India with
GPS Mapping Technology. I feel honored to receive this award,” said Mr.
Rakesh Verma, Managing Director, MapmyIndia.
