MapMyIndia Expands Accessibility with Support for Nine Regional Languages

NEW DELHI: In a big boost for navigation services in India, MapMyIndia has declared the addition of nine regional languages to its widely used mapping app. The declaration was made at the India International Center in New Delhi by Mappls, the parent entity of MapMyIndia. The app is now available in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Punjabi, Malayalam, and Gujarati for users to access.

The feature enables users to use the app in their native language irrespective of the location, with convenience of interchanging states. In addition to turn-by-turn navigation, the app provides voice navigation, local search, and other features in users' languages.

Mappls says that its navigation services now span an impressive 99.9 percent of India's road network, with over 30 million users spread across the country. The inclusion of language support for regions makes MapMyIndia one of the few iOS apps that provide navigation in natively supported languages, and this increases user convenience and accessibility.

Additionally, the app also includes special features like wildfire data, local vegetation map, water spread data, nightlight data, etc., thereby offering a one-stop solution to its users. This move is an example of MapMyIndia's attempt to serve the linguistic diversity of India by making its advanced navigation features accessible to more users.
