Delhi Auto Show is not only going to host cars, but will also be a destination to display accessories and specialized gadgets to make your driving luxurious, safe and fun. MapmyIndia (MMI) is set to unveil its Android based GPS device at the auto expo. The new in-dash navigation system brings to you all the types of android based facilities that you can think of. The device will provide you with 3D navigation, live television while sitting in car, internet browsing and so on.
The device to be showcased by the New Delhi based company features 3D navigation software Aura. MMI had earlier launched a navigation oriented tablet CarPad which functioned on Android 2.2. While there have been some comparisons between the services provided by Google and the one by MMI, the present device is expected to be something different.
Those who have used Google Navigation would agree to it that it requires activating a GPRS plan and the remaining service is free. Moreover while MMI maps are updated at least once a year, Google keeps on updating it every now and then. The other drawbacks that have been seen with the MMI service are the route selection and search. These features needs to be a bit upgraded when you are comparing it to Google.
The other product from the company includes a 3D portable navigator called MapmyIndia Zx250 that also happens to be India’s first. MapmyIndia’s Map V7.0 showing details of 4000+ cities with 20+ cities in 3D will be a main attraction in the product range. The launch of the Android based GPS system appears to be an initiation in improving its service. What do you think?
