Whenever we step out—be it for work, travel, or running errands—we usually rely on Google Maps.
But now, India has its very own navigation app: Mappls, developed by MapmyIndia.
Unlike foreign apps, Mappls is designed specifically for Indian roads, culture, and driving conditions.
All data is stored in India, ensuring better privacy and security for users.
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav recently praised Mappls as a successful example of indigenous technology.
Beyond navigation, the app offers unique features that make driving safer, faster, and more convenient.
Key Features That Make Mappls Stand Out
Junction View
Mappls offers a 3D Junction View, designed for complex intersections, overbridges, and underpasses in India.
Drivers can see clear lane and turn options, making it easier to navigate tricky routes safely.
Multi-Floor Navigation
Visiting a shopping mall, hospital, or office complex? Mappls helps you reach the right floor, ensuring you don’t get lost inside multi-level buildings.
Live Traffic Signal Timers
In cities like Bengaluru, Mappls shows real-time traffic signal timers, telling you how many seconds until the green light.
This feature helps reduce waiting time and improves traffic flow.
Toll Savings & Route Optimization
Integrated with the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), Mappls provides toll prices and suggests toll-free routes.
It also recommends faster and shorter paths, saving both time and money.
Safety Alerts
Mappls sends alerts about potholes, speed breakers, and traffic cameras, helping drivers avoid accidents and stay safe on the road.
Smart Navigation Features for Everyday Use
Mappls PIN & Digital Addressing
Each location has a unique 6-digit Mappls PIN, making complex addresses easy to find and share.
The digital addressing system is handy for areas without standard addresses, ideal for delivery services and taxi drivers.
Regional Language Support
Mappls supports Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and other regional languages, making it accessible for users who don’t read English.
ISRO Integration
The app uses satellite imagery from ISRO to provide accurate maps and real-time data.
Tracking & Sharing
Share your real-time location with family or friends for safety and convenience.
Customizable Routes
Whether you prefer a toll-free route, a shorter path, or scenic drives, Mappls lets you customize your journey.
Offline Maps
Even without an internet connection, Mappls works with offline maps, which is especially useful in rural or remote areas.
Data Security & Privacy
Being fully indigenous, all data is stored in India.
Your location and personal information are secure from foreign access, giving you peace of mind.
Mappls is more than just a navigation app—it’s an all-in-one solution tailored for India, making travel safer, faster, and smarter.
From multi-floor navigation to live traffic updates and offline maps, it offers everything Indian drivers need in a modern mapping app.
