Mappls has created a unique digital address system for India that works with the government’s DIGIPIN project. Each location is given a 6-character alphanumeric code, making it easy to find and share any location. Apart from this, the app also has the feature of hyper-local navigation which gives step-by-step directions to the users to any building or house i.e. no more tension of taking a wrong turn.
Mappls has an in-built toll saving calculator that shows the user the toll cost of the entire route and suggests the cheapest journey. Not only this, the app also estimates your fuel expenses and calculates the total budget for the entire trip. This means that now you can know before the journey how much impact it will have on your pocket.
A great feature of Mappls is its 3D Junction View, which shows complex locations like flyovers and underpasses in a photo-realistic 3D view. In this, every lane, entry and exit point is clearly visible. With this feature, problems like taking wrong turn or changing lane at the last moment are eliminated to a great extent.
Following the partnership with ISRO in 2021, Mappls now uses local and accurate Indian mapping data, making its information more reliable than ever.
Mappls has developed a unique system in collaboration with Bengaluru Traffic Police under which users can now see live traffic signal timers on the app. This AI-based feature automatically adjusts the signal time according to the traffic flow and also suggests less congested routes to make your drive even smoother.
Mappls app gives real-time warnings like speed breakers, potholes, sharp turns, speed cameras keeping in mind the real condition of Indian roads. MapmyIndia, which has been mapping every road and street of the country since 1995, has so much hyper-local data that it keeps it several steps ahead of global apps.
While Google Maps is a global giant, Mappls better understands the needs and road realities of India. This is the reason why this app is fast making a place in the hearts of Indian users by becoming not only a navigation but also a smart travel companion.
