Mappls Map: Every journey will be easy with the indigenous app Mappls, not just one or two, but 13 special features are available..

Nowadays, whenever we go out, whether for a trip, to the office, or to find an address, the first thing we do is open the Google Maps app. But now there's no need to rely solely on foreign apps, as India's own map app, 'Mappls,' has arrived. Mappls is an indigenous navigation app developed by MapmyIndia. This app works similarly to Google Maps, but its unique feature is that it's been tailored to Indian needs. Its data is stored in India, ensuring greater privacy and security.

This app not only understands the country's roads and routes well, but also makes driving and navigation easier with a number of unique features. Recently, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav praised the app, calling it a successful example of 'indigenous' technology.

The Mapls app is not just a navigation tool, but a complete solution that understands India's roads, culture, and needs. Features like Junction View, live traffic signal timers, safety alerts, and regional language support set it apart from other global apps. Let's learn about all the features.

Junction View - The most distinctive feature of the Maples app is its 3D Junction View, which is specifically designed for Indian roads and complex intersections. When you're driving through overbridges, underpasses, or multi-lane intersections, this feature shows you a 3D, photo-realistic view with clear lane and turn options. This feature makes driving safer and easier, especially in areas where routes are difficult to understand.

Multi-Floor Navigation - When you arrive at a building or complex with multiple floors, the Maples app helps you navigate to the correct floor. This feature is especially useful in shopping malls, office complexes, and hospitals, where you have to go to different floors to reach the right shop or section.

Live Traffic Signal Timers - Launched in Bengaluru, the Maples app displays real-time traffic signal timers. As you approach a signal, the app tells you how many seconds it will take for the green signal to appear. This feature makes driving easier, especially in crowded cities.

Toll Savings and Route Optimization - The Maples app works with the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to provide real-time information about toll plazas and their prices. This feature also informs you about toll-free routes, saving you both time and money. Additionally, the app suggests shorter, faster routes, making your journey easier.

Safety Alerts - Safety is a major concern while driving, and the Maples app pays special attention to this. The app provides real-time alerts about potholes, speed breakers, and traffic cameras. These alerts help you drive safely and avoid accidents.

Mappls PIN - A Maples PIN is a 6-digit code that identifies any location. It allows you to easily share and search for complex addresses. For example, 237, Okhla Industrial Estate Phase 3 can be searched for simply by a code like 'mmi000'. This feature is especially useful for delivery services, taxi drivers, and general users.

Digital Addressing - The Maples app offers a digital addressing system, which uses a digital code instead of a standard address. This system is especially beneficial in areas where standard addresses are not clear.

Regional Language Support - The Maples app has regional language support, allowing you to navigate in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and other Indian languages. This feature is useful for those who don't know English.

ISRO Integration - The Maples app works in partnership with ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization), which provides it with satellite imagery and Earth observation data.

Tracking and Sharing - The Maples app has a tracking feature that allows you to share your location in real-time. This feature is especially useful for family and friends who want to stay updated on your travels.

Customizable Routes - You can customize routes within the app to suit your needs. Whether you want a toll-free route or a shorter route, the Maples app offers you all the options.

Data Sovereignty - The Maples app is completely indigenous, and its data is hosted in India. This ensures that users' data remains secure and does not fall into the hands of any foreign company. This feature is specifically designed with privacy in mind.

Offline Maps - The Maples app features offline maps, ensuring you can use navigation even without internet. This feature is especially useful in rural areas and places with low connectivity.
