New Delhi: Celebrating its 30-year milestone, Mappls MapmyIndia, a leading digital maps, IoT, and deep-tech company, has unveiled a special initiative—Indic language maps and navigation support in nine regional languages. This feature is now available on its flagship Mappls App, accessible to more than 30 million users.
The launch event, held at the India International Center, New Delhi, was graced by Surveyor General of India, IAS Hitesh Kumar S. Makwana. With this initiative, Mappls aims to make digital maps and navigation more accessible to Indians in their native languages.
Seamless Navigation in 9 Indian Languages
Users of the Mappls App can now experience maps, search, turn-by-turn navigation, and voice guidance in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Punjabi, Malayalam, and Gujarati.
