Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has endorsed Mappls, an indigenous navigation app by MapmyIndia, as part of the government's push for homegrown technologies under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
“Swadeshi ‘Mappls’ by MapmyIndia. Good features…must try.”
Vaishnaw shared a video demonstrating Mappls' features, including its 3D junction view, which shows detailed visuals of bridges and underpasses to prevent navigation errors. He announced that an MoU would soon be signed with MapmyIndia to enhance railway navigation.
