MapMyIndia Launches GPS Device For India

If you are thinking that the image above is photoshop edit, you are wrong. This is the actual device launched by MapMyIndia.com specific for India in collobaration with Delphi. MapMyIndia has taken its competition offline now. Nobody ever imagined that India and India roads/streets too can be navigated using GPS device.

The Device uses Delphi NAV200 hardware with Samsung 400 MHz processor, SirfStar III GPS chipset. It has built-in rechargeable battery and also includes music, movies, games, photos, world clock and calculator. It has 3.5" colour touch screen.

The device will give you Real Time turn by turn navigation, graphical map guidance supported by voice instructions. You can find directions by a locality, street name, point of interest or a remote village. Point of interests includes petrol pumps, ATMs, restaurants, landmarks etc. It also includes auto re-routing and detour options. If you missed the direction, it will re-route you to the destination with alternative routes.

All that is pretty neat but here are few questions

how accurate it is?
How fast it can re-route?
What are the route calculation priorities?
Does it give you Fastest route vs. shortest route?

The device is priced @ Rs. 21,000 if shipped inside Delhi state and 22,000 otherwise. Thought the price is pretty high at this point, we might see lot of competition down the road and will eventually be available under around Rs. 10,000. (Lets cross our fingers.). So now having GPS is not celebrity status anymore! Anyone can have GPS in their cars in India.

Check out MapMyIndia.com for more details.

If you live in India and are thinking about taking a vacation maybe check out some Hawaii vacation packages or consider one of the fabulous cruises you can find out about online.
