“These points of interest include hospitals, restaurants, shopping malls etc,” Mehrotra added.
Few months back, Nokia has also announced live traffic update facility in Nokia maps that is only available for Delhi and Mumbai. That is really helpful feature to know about your route and avoid traffic jams.
“Presently only Mumbai and Delhi have live traffic facility, which we expect to expand to other cities so that the user can get the exact information of time required to reach a particular location as per the daily traffic conditions,” he added.
