Google Maps vs Mappl: With the popularity of domestic apps on the rise, all eyes are on MapmyIndia’s Mappls app, which is a direct rival of Google Maps. Even though Google Maps is widely used by users on Android smartphones, Mappls has continued to have a sizable power in the car OEM market. With the popularity of domestic apps on the rise, all eyes are on MapmyIndia’s Mappls app, which is a direct rival of Google Maps. While Mappls has maintained a substantial lead in the automotive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) sector, where the company’s system is primarily used by manufacturers of vehicles such as cars, bikes, and electric vehicles, Google Maps is still widely used by the general public, particularly on Android devices.
MapmyIndia was founded by Rakesh and Rashmi Verma with the goal of resolving Indian issues. It continues to outperform its international competitor in a number of areas. Let us examine five ways that Mappls is better than Google Maps.
Mappls Pin
To make it easier to identify and share locations, Mappls has created a digital address system that integrates with the government’s DIGIPIN system. A six-character alphanumeric code known as a Mappls PIN is used to identify a particular place on a map. Users can also generate their own PINs.
Also, the app has hyperlocal navigation, which allows users to look up precise building and home addresses and receive full directions to their location.
Calculator for Toll Savings
With the help of the Mappls app’s integrated toll calculator, users may estimate tolls along the way and select the least expensive route accordingly. The app supports fuel usage and allows users to monitor not only toll charges but also the total cost of the trip.
3D Views of Junctions
A special feature of the Mappls app gives users a photo-realistic 3D depiction of intricate crossings, such as flyovers and underpasses, with exact and well-marked entry and departure points. This lowers the possibility of swerving at the last minute or missing an exit.
In 2021, Mappls also partnered with ISRO, which enabled the app to offer comprehensive, regionally relevant, and indigenous mapping solutions in India, boosting precision and coverage.
Live Map-Based Traffic Signal Timers:
The Bengaluru Traffic Police and Mappls have a special partnership that enables the app to show current data, including live traffic light countdowns at 169 signals throughout the city.
The city’s smart traffic lights are integrated with an AI-powered function, which modifies signal timings in response to real-time traffic. Mapls can provide alternate, less crowded routes for a more comfortable commute by using real-time signal tracking.
Danger Alerts Special to India
For a number of possible road dangers including potholes, speed breakers, steep curves, speed/surveillance cameras, and more, the Mapps app offers alerts tailored to India.
Since its founding in 1995, MapmyIndia has been mapping the nation, building a comprehensive, hyper-local database that includes the finer details that multinational corporations frequently overlook.
