MapmyIndia, popular for its GPS navigation and location apps has launched NaviMap, a Freemium navigation app. This offers alternate routes and lets you share real-time journey updates on Facebook. Additional features such as Real time turn-by-turn voice guidance in 10 regional languages that includes Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu, House Number Data, POI and more would be available via in-app purchases.
MapmyIndia lets users try Premium features as a part of free trial for a period of 3 days. Users can purchase it if they like extra features, otherwise the free app itself offers plenty of features, including offline maps. The iOS and Windows Phone apps would be available soon, says MapmyIndia.
Commenting on the new app, Rakesh Verma, Managing Director, MapmyIndia, said
MapmyIndia NaviMaps app is in sync with our endeavor to provide best-in-class navigation experience to our users. This app is a freemium app where the user has to pay a small fee to enjoy full voice guidance features, which is more than compensated by the significant savings made by not having to pay any data charges, as the app is offline. This however is not the case with many other free navigation apps on offer where the user ends up paying heavy internet charges.
