Yahoo India heats up the competition with the latest version of Y! maps.
Apart from the regular map feature, the product has been launched with few nifty features:
- Landmarks based directions, covering all of India.
- Auto richskaw fares
- Directions in SMS/Text
Overall, the map is impressive and very much tuned to the Indian consumers and am sure will give a good competition to MapMyIndia as well as RouteGuru.
Test drive the map and do share your comments.

Awesome!! Best map service for india
After staying in CA and using GPS to roam around the Bay Area , I’m absolutely un-impressed with the map services in India. I think a LOT of improvement is needed if we want to have the GPSs telling us the directions.
Raseel:
Unlike US, the Indian streets aren’t structured at all. IMHO, its not at all a good idea to compare the US GPS maps with India’s.
