Google launches indoor maps in India

Facing problem in searching a specific store in a busy shopping mall?  Don’t worry. Solution is here! Google has launched indoor maps in India which will help to locate definite locations inside shopping malls, museums and retail stores.

“Using indoor maps, users will find it easy to locate stores, especially in an unfamiliar shopping mall or when they plan a visit to a museum like Salar jung in Hyderabad. With Indoor Google Maps in India, people can access detailed floor plans for 75 popular indoor venues with a few easy swipes,” Google India Director and Product Manager (Maps) Suren Ruhela told PTI.

“To date, we’ve worked with 75 partners across 22 cities in India to bring indoor maps,” he added.

Indoor maps will cover major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Bhopal, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Jaipur, Kochi, Lucknow, Ludhiana and Moradabad.

Google will provide this service for free to Android and iOS users.
