Google announced indoor maps in India for android and ios

Google bought the indoor maps fea­ture to India. Google says that start­ing today, users across 22 cit­ies in India can access Google’s maps for vari­ous malls and museums.

Ini­tially the com­pany is offer­ing indoor maps for 75 loc­a­tions includ­ing — Ban­galore, Bho­pal, Chen­nai, Coim­batore, Chand­igarh, Dehradun, Del­hi, Ghaziabad, Goa, Gur­gaon, Hydera­bad, Jaipur, Kochi, Kolk­ata, Luc­know, Lud­hi­ana, Moradabad, Mum­bai, Noida, Pune, Raipur, vadodara and hopes to add more soon.

Indoor Google Maps are like hav­ing an indoor dir­ect­ory in the palm of your hand — help­ing you more eas­ily work out how to get to where you want to go, without hav­ing to find a freest­and­ing dir­ect­ory or mall assistant.

Indoor maps fea­ture is cur­rently avail­able for Google’s Map app for Android and iOS.

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.
