“With the growth in demand for MapmyIndia Navigators we also received queries from users of other GPS devices. They were interested in knowing if,and when,they would be able to use MapmyIndia maps on their devices. There were similar queries from foreign travellers – both business travellers and tourists – who could not use fully utilize their Garmin devices in India because of lack of good quality digital maps. Therefore,it was natural for MapmyIndia to make available the India maps for other devices,starting with Garmin devices,” says Rakesh Verma,Managing Director,MapmyIndia.
