Competition to provide maps to Indian consumers continues:
Medianama reports that Rediff has launched Rediff Maps for India. The GIS data is provided by ML Infomap, a Delhi based company.
At the same time, MapMyIndia has announced that they’ve raised additional funding, led by Qualcomm Ventures. Earlier investors also participated in this round.
The competition in this market has become quite hot with several service providers – MapMyIndia, Google Maps, Navteq, Reliance BIG maps and SatNav and now Rediff Maps vying for a piece of the pie.
Is there any one service that you prefer over the other ?
They turned the expectations crashing out like anything. Real disappointment.
MapMyIndia, Google & Bing Maps (previously Microsoft Maps) will continue to be the popular ones for me.
How these smaller companies can provide accurate gis data? Did they made it from high resolution satellite images?
