MapMyIndia expands to tier-2 cities

MapMyIndia has announced the launch of MapMyIndia Navigator 2.0, . The new version contains street level maps of 174 cities, 4,50,000 PoIs (costs 18-21K depending on the hardware).

What’s significant about this release is that it will throw open the a) local search market for tier-2 cities as well (MapMyIndia does provide the listings data to partners at an exorbitant rate), b) LBS might see some light.

What’s your take?

Isn’t MapMyIndia a good acquisition target for Nokia?

      Acquisition ? Are you kidding me ?
      MapMyIndia is an awesome product and they should leverage it by acquiring an expertise in this domain (as this blog points , they already are).
      They should completely leverage their first-mover advantage and capitalise on it and not just sell it off to an MNC.
