You're right Subramani. I spoke one of the high-level employees, who
don't want to be named at (VLDC - Mathura Road, Delhi). I'm afraid
they are shrinking their high-end services in India because of some
revenue generating issues. Which actually happened in London as well.

Contacting Vodaphone seem to be one option.
I will be trying this route. If any one has any known persons there,
then
please do let me know.
Thanks

So from these comments there is no possibility of this loadstone
solution
being a viable substitute for Wayfinder. It isn't. So besides
signing
petitions and so forth, what is being done to attempt preservation of
the
service in India and elsewhere? According to the man who wrote last
week,
fifty-six of the petition signers are from India. Are they all on
this
list? Have any been contacted personally about any plans? Are there
any
plans? Dipendra, could you weigh in on this please?

Hi Jean,
My answers are inline and are prefixed by my initials.
<snip I find this whole thing most confusing. Are you saying that in
order to go anywhere for the first time you have to look it up on the
internet?
PL] Yes. You need to access the google maps route generator and enter
your source and destination and generate the check points file.
<snip Suppose you are out somewhere and you spontaneously decide you
want to go somewhere else you haven't been before. Is there a way to
get a route somehow?
PL] Yes. You can do the whole route downloading on the phone but it
is
not easy to do.
<snip If it incorporates Google Maps, Nokia Maps or whatever, does
it
also
read other
information found on these maps?
PL] Loadstone does not incorporate google or nokia maps. It just uses
these maps to generate output it can use to navigate.
<snip If a person is standing in a place and wants to know what's
around is it possible to get that information?
PL] In loadstone yes but it depends on the points you have loaded for
that location.
<snip Is this potentially better than Wayfinder Access because
presumably nokia/google maps are more frequently updated?
PL] Hard to say. Perhaps yes but things like rerouting are not
available using this approach.
