All-India navigable map licensing
MapmyIndia is India's leading and de-facto source of digital map and data for navigation across India.


We collaborate with world-wide leading players who have an interest to make a presence in the growing Indian market for navigation products and services on the internet, on mobile and in-car.

MapmyIndia navigable map aims to mimic the real road conditions such that is recognizes one-ways, honours the turns at round-about, considers the aspect of height and levels of flyovers with entry and exit ramps, navigable maps respects no-entry into particular roads such as turn restrictions etc. Real road conditions such as preferred routes from point A to point B can also be embedded into these navigable maps. Navigable maps are a unique combination of maps where the underlying data is a combination of advanced mathematics, real road conditions and points of interest for the given area.

Team of over 200 field researchers since 1997 have been traveling across different regions of the country each day, continually driving and redriving the roads, and collecting map data that more closely reflects real Indian conditions. These data are continually supplemented by phone calls and other desk research tools of MapmyIndia for validation and value addition.

We collect road attributes on each section of road, and are adding millions of Points of Interest falling under 52 different categories to our database.

Our deep understanding of Indian geography and addresses contribute to the development of groundbreaking and unparalleled products, tools, services and processes.
