If you mention Global Positioning System (GPS) to an average Joe (or Ravi) in India, he'll probably not be aware of it. That's because wake for GPS devices in our country is still to come about. There are very few people in our country who go around looking for a GPS device or service for their car. But since evolution is part of everything, things can't stay the way they are for long. Most of you must be familiar with Google Earth or Google Maps on mobile phones. These provide you with just the road-maps and then you have to locate the roads to reach the point where you are looking to go.

A GPS device, on the other hand, provides you with a route, and the shortest one at that to reach a destination that you select. Today we have such a device for you from an Indian company which specializes in specifically collecting Indian road data. They have a site as well called MapMyIndia.com and are soon to come out with a Google Maps competitor which will turn your phone into a GPS device, provided it has the required capabilities. For now, let's see what they have to offer on the GPS device front.

Hello Everyone , I just bought a Map My India Navigator from Map My India website , and to my surprise , i got the GPS device in 3 days and i am very happy with it . I happen to use it almost all the time when i am driving and its now become a habit . All i wish was the volume was a bit high as sometimes i am listning to loud music and happen to miss instructions ...though Map My India has the best maps possible but i guess a lot of it can be improved over time as india is fast changing ...still these guys have done a great job . using the Navigator is like using my mobile now ...i have a bad sense of driving and its quite handy ... connaught place was one area i used to dread going ...cause iused to get lost always but now its like ...EASY ! :D over all a good buy i must say ... you guys can see the products on www.mapmyindia.com/navigator Regards Rajiv Sharma New Delhi

Can u download all ur stored POIs or routes etc -the history - that u feed-in (i.e. YOUR inputted data) into this GPS unit - back to ur computer? My Garmin Plus3 did not allow this (sob!). Worst still it had some storage battery - which when it went drained complete led to the loss of ALL my stored-in info, data in terms of the way points etc ... The vector-route of 500km should stay n not trail like an earthworm ... only then the route u took can be 'stored' and u can travel that route again in the future. In fact i'd love if it can store the history of the exact routes (much like all nos. dialled as done by a cellphone). How many waypoints can it store (My Garmin cud store the recent 500 of them). When is this device hitting the markets. I m crazy @ GPS ..........!

Can you put up a small video showing the exact process as to how you enter your destination, HOW it then guides you find your way etc. etc.. Wud be much much more useful than pics i guess..GPS seems like a good buy for ppl like me who cant navigate to save their life !! how much cost?

well for now with my SE W810i itself Im able to get something like maps and stuff called www.8motions.com... go to the site register free and get ur mobile with the software it detects when u connect to wap and www.8motions/m then u can actually see places like in google earth or map mode.... quite ok only hope hutch or vodafone doesnt jack me with huge bills... I guess this too needs external GPS device to be fully functional whereas some smart phones already have that facility...

Scroll through the entire article, so that Techtree can show one hundred advertisments in the process! And finally, you will know that the cost is 21,000 at the very bottom of the article. I wonder why TechTree cant put it right on top, along with positives and negatives...

JSS SATGUIDE is not as bad but yes they do not update maps as they promise. Specially the Pune map. PCMC area is just missing. Now it looks they are releasing the upgrade today eveing but there is a charge. Everyone gives the first upgrade free. I have req, them to let us first evaluate to see if it worth getting the upgrade before we spend on upgrade. But at the moment it is not worth recommending anyone as such.
