Map My India App For Android iPhone and BlackBerry

MapmyIndia, a company well known for making digital maps, recently announced the launch of ShowNearby, a free location-based places app for Blackberry, Android and iPhone, that allows users to search and discover all places of interest nearby, such as restaurants, ATMs, petrol pumps, retail brands, coffee shops, tourist spots, emergency services etc. The application is powered by the digital map data from MapmyIndia.

The application works like any location based app which determines your position based on the GPS and based on that shows a list of places around your marked location. The user can view the place on MapmyIndia’s maps and get accurate directions to it, directly call up the place, save it to his contacts and also share the place with friends via email or SMS. The user can also see and request deals at outlets and brands in the application.
Rohan Verma, Director MapmyIndia, says ‘We’re very excited to launch the MapmyIndia ShowNearby application in India as an easy utility for users to get information of nearby places and offers on their mobile, and an excellent platform for brands to help users discover their store and business locations and run location based offers and promotions. We are happy to collaborate with Douglas and his team at ShowNearby to bring this application to the Indian market.’

The application is available free of cost to the user. It is currently available for Blackberry, Android and iPhone platforms and will soon have versions for mobile web and Windows Phone 7. The application can be downloaded through the Blackberry App World, Android Market and iTunes App Stores or by visiting http://m.mapmyindia.com/shownearby from the user’s mobile phone browser.
