GPS Based Navigation Device A Global Positioning System (GPS) based in-car navigation device, christened "MapmyIndia Navigator", has been launched by MapmyIndia, a leading navigable map data provider.
The sleek smart gadget uses satellites to determine a user's current location anywhere within the country. It guides people, turn by turn, with visual map instructions supported by voice prompts. The gizmo can either be mounted on the windshield or dashboard while driving, or hand carried while sitting in the backseat of the car. Says Rakesh Verma, managing director of CE Info Systems (promoters of MapmyIndia): with GPS technology, and accurate MapmyIndia maps telling you exactly where to take your next turn, unnamed roads or unclear road signs are no longer an issue. "MapmyIndia Navigator" is currently available in two hardware models: Delphi Nav 200 and AMAX 06GP5A. The devices come with built-in GPS (SirfStar III), a 3.5-inches color touch-screen, Samsung 400 MHz processor, and additional multimedia features to play movies, music, photos, and games. "MapmyIndia Navigator" deploys comprehensive and accurate India maps provided by CE Info Systems. CE Info Systems claims the maps have been created, and are continually updated, by a strong team of map data specialists plus 200 surveyors who've been walking and driving across the length and breadth of the country for many years now. These maps are claimed to give complete coverage of streets, localities, sub-localities, and points of interest in 18 major cities of the country including: New Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Pune (including Pimpri and Chinchwad), Kolkata (including Bidhan Nagar), Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai. "MapmyIndia Navigator" is currently available with car accessory- and consumer electronics- dealers in New Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai. It is also available online via Indiatimes and FutureBazaar, besides MapmyIndia.com. In Delhi, the device costs Rs 21,000 while in other states, it comes for Rs 22,000. This is a one-time cost for the entire navigation-ready product, which comes pre-loaded with complete all India maps and standard accessories such as car and wall charger, windshield and dashboard mount, manuals, etc. For a demo of how the 'Navigator' works and more details, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohPnlDdCXIo Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDcpBFjqBwk Explore your hobbies and interests.
