In a world where Google Maps is everywhere, India has its own mapping app — Mappls.

Developed by MapmyIndia, a company with over 25 years of experience in digital maps, Mappls is made in India, for India.


✅ What Can You Do With Mappls?

Just like Google Maps, Mappls helps you:

  • 🔍 Find places

  • 📍 Get directions

  • 🚗 Navigate routes while driving

  • ⛽ Locate fuel stations, ATMs, restaurants, and more

But what makes it different is its focus on India’s unique roads, addresses, and local needs.


🌟 Unique Features of Mappls

  1. Mappls PIN:
    Every location can have a unique 6-character code (like ABC123), making it easy to find exact addresses—even if there's no clear house number or street name.

  2. 3D Junction View:
    Shows 3D images of flyovers and junctions, so you don’t get confused at complex turns.

  3. Live Traffic Signal Timers:
    In some cities like Bengaluru, it shows live countdowns at traffic lights.

  4. Hazard Alerts:
    Warns you about potholes, speed breakers, and accident-prone zones.

  5. Supports Indian Languages:
    You can use the app in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and more!

  6. Privacy First:
    Unlike many global apps, your data stays in India and isn’t shared outside.


Mappls is part of India's push for Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
It’s made by Indians, stores data in India, and solves problems that only Indian users truly face — like unclear addresses, narrow roads, or missing street names.
