However, it has been over 2 years now and the only city covered is the Delhi-NCR. I guess Google's crowd sourcing method scales quicker and I believe that is their (google's) edge.

Hey Ashish,

Quite an honest and the best outline on routeguru among all the ones I found around.

RouteGuru needs to update their route indexes very very frequently.
Very true, hopefully routeguru will not disappoint Bangaloreans as well.

Community based building is another consideration for routeguru.

I am from Delhi (not staying currently though:(( , I have started playing with the routes – just for fun and to test the accuracy.
My feedback – Few routes are awesomely done.
But, at the same time – its too detailed. I may not need that level of details.
A feedback system should really be a good way to start with!

Good stuff man! your reviews are less gyaan and more on products :)

I completely agree with you that a place like Bangalore will be too tough for them..

Also, a landmark name isn’t standard at times.
