The Made in India app is a hit: Mappls doesn't even offer these features on Google Maps...

Google Maps vs. Mappls: Demand for indigenous apps is growing in India. First, Arattai and now, the indigenous navigation app Mappls are gaining a strong foothold among the public. Although Google Maps is popular worldwide, it still lacks many features found in the indigenous app Mappls. Today, we'll tell you about some of these features that Mappls offers but are not available to users of Google Maps.

Road Alerts
Sharp turns, potholes, speed breakers, and speed cameras are common on Indian roads, yet Google Maps doesn't account for these features. Meanwhile, Mappls provides information about these during navigation for safe driving.

Live Traffic Signal Timers
This feature found in Mappls is not available in Google Maps; currently, it's only available to people living in Bengaluru. The special feature of this feature is that it displays a countdown of red and green lights on the screen, providing information on when to proceed and when to stop. Furthermore, this feature also provides ways to avoid traffic jams with the help of an AI-based traffic system.

3D Junction Views for Clarity
Navigating Indian roads used to be challenging, as even Google Maps didn't show this feature. Now, Google Maps has started showing whether to take a flyover or not. However, Maples offers users a 3D view feature for better navigation, which clearly shows the route and helps avoid wrong turns. This feature works with ISRO satellite data.

Trip Cost and Toll Calculator
Maples isn't just a navigation app, but it helps you in every way. This app provides information about toll and fuel consumption before you even start your journey. Note that the app only provides approximate information.
