MapmyIndia releases NaviMaps – The most powerful and personalized 3-D navigation experience on Android!

Today we launched NaviMaps – India’s first Freemium ‘Glocal’ navigation app. Download the app here. The key objective here is to provide the best of international and localized content. With NaviMaps, we have expanded our foot-print into Southeast Asia, by offering maps of Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh. To provide rich local content, the app is equipped with house level addresses and voice guidance in regional Indian languages. This is the only navigation app in India to offer last mile connectivity in the users preferred language.  There is no internet connection required therefore no hidden/recurring expenses are incurred once the application is downloaded on the phone. The maps are active even on offline mode, thus the app works well even if GPRS connectivity is poor/ unavailable, as it happens while traveling through highways or small towns.

This app is a Freemium app where the user has to pay a small fee to enjoy full voice guidance features, which is more than compensated by the significant savings made by not having to pay any data charges, as the app is offline. This however is not the case with many other free navigation apps on offer where the user ends up paying heavy internet charges. The app also features, for the first time in India, house-level navigation, regional language voice guidance. The package includes automatic traffic based re-routing and real time journey updates on Facebook.The best part is even though the application is loaded with features, you can look forward to a super fast and responsive experience.

 

The app offers powerful and personalized navigation for Android users allowing users to share location and routes via Facebook with the feature of real-time journey progress sharing on Facebook to update friends on road-trips. With this feature your journey progress will be updated on the Facebook timeline. The post will be refreshed periodically. Special care has been taken to avoid spamming the timeline as the same post gets refreshed with progress in journey.

Users can also save a frequently traveled route on the NaviMaps app, the live traffic dashboard will show expected travel times on those routes. The dynamic traffic re-routing automatically switches the user to an alternate route in case of a traffic jam. The app’s regional language voice guidance feature further adds to the personalization capability.

Download the app now for your android device now and start enjoying the most powerful navigation experience you can lay your hand on in India. By the way, you can download, remove and re-download maps as often as you like. We are listening to you feedback – good and bad!.
