Google
Inc has launched indoor maps in India that will help users inside
venues like malls and museums.
Apart
from malls, indoor maps would be available for National Gallery Of Modern Art
in Delhi, Salar jung museum in Hyderabad and Hyderabad International Convention
Centre.
"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 said.
Some of
the major locations include Ambience Mall in Gurgaon and Select City Walk in
Delhi.
The
indoor maps will cover metros as well as locations in cities like Bhopal,
Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Jaipur, Kochi, Lucknow, Ludhiana and
Moradabad.
"To
date, we've worked with 75 partners across 22 cities in India to bring indoor
maps," Ruhela said, adding that the list will be expanded in the coming
days
.
The
service will be available free to Android and iOS users, he added.
Google's indoor maps
service, available as part of Google Maps, is already available in
countries like the US, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Netherlands.
