MapmyIndia Launches map version 9.0; offers enhanced coverage and ease-of-use

Today we have launched the latest map version (9.0) for all of India. With this, we offer enhanced map coverage along with added convenience. We have significantly added to the existing map data with 7068 cities (up by 1040 cities) at street level and the last mile has been connected for 80 cities, an addition of 24 more cities with house-level data. To top it all, we are offering 3D landmarks and 2D building foot prints for 86 cities across India.

The Smart single-line, predictive and easy place search feature enables users to search by typing in a single string, doing away with the need to type POI and address in separate columns. The search is predictive so as you start typing probable options keep appearing thus making it faster and easier to use. We feel the Indian landscape is changing, not just in geography but also in demographics. We have a higher percentage of traveling population clocking more hours in transit than ever before. To cater to the needs of this growing and energetic India, MapmyIndia is constantly innovating and enhancing navigation solutions. The map updates are a critical component of this process.

It also includes best-in-class advanced and localized navigation and driver assistance features such as extended lane guidance, junction views, sign-posts, live traffic, city guides and rich points of interest, regional voice guidance and regional maps.
