Apps: Mappls has special features that even Google Maps doesn't have. Find out why this Made in India app is better..
The indigenous navigation app Mappls is giving Google Maps a tough competition today. Developed by MapmyIndia, this app is becoming a reliable navigation companion for cars, bikes, and electric vehicles. Mappls has developed a unique digital address system for India, integrated with the government's DIGIPIN project. Each location is assigned a 6-digit alphanumeric code, making it extremely easy to identify and share any location. Let's explore some of the app's key features that make it superior to Google apps.
Makes Toll and Fuel Costs Count
Mappls' toll savings calculator tells users the toll and fuel costs for the entire journey. This feature not only suggests the cheapest route but also estimates your budget before the trip.
3D Junction View Eliminates the Hassle of Wrong Turns
Google Maps can often confuse you on flyovers, underpasses, or complex junctions. However, Mappls' 3D Junction View addresses this shortcoming. This feature displays every lane and exit point in a photo-realistic view, virtually eliminating the possibility of going in the wrong direction.
Data Made More Accurate with ISRO's Help
Following a partnership with ISRO in 2021, Mappls now uses local and accurate Indian satellite data. This has made its direction and location information even more reliable.
Live Traffic Signal Timers and Smart Routing
In collaboration with the Bengaluru Traffic Police, Mappls has developed a smart system that displays an AI-based traffic timer. This allows you to view live red light timers right on the app. It adjusts signal times based on traffic flow and suggests less congested routes to users.
Real-Time Road Alerts and Local Information
The Mappls app alerts users in real-time about potholes, speed breakers, sharp turns, and cameras. Its hyper-local mapping data captures information on every street and road in the country since 1995, giving it an edge over global apps in India.
