MapmyIndia maps now available to Garmin GPS device users
Safe and secure travel for Indian and foreign travellers carrying Garmin devices
New Delhi, March 31, 2009: MapmyIndia, India's leading map and GPS navigation services provider, has announced that users of Garmin GPS devices can now install MapmyIndia’s highly detailed and accurate India maps on their devices. With this new development Garmin device users will have access to maps of 202 cities, 130,000 towns and villages, 450,000 point of interests, and navigate to 640,000 unique reachable destinations across India. Garmin device users – especially foreign travellers to India – who have so far been unable to make full use of their GPS devices, can now use MapmyIndia maps to make travel in India, safe, secure and stress free.
With the launch of maps for Garmin devices, MapmyIndia has opened a new market in India for retailing of maps for GPS devices popular in other countries. Till now users could buy GPS devices abroad but these became almost useless because of a lack of exhaustive and accurate maps dataset in India. The availability of MapmyIndia’s maps for Garmin GPS devices provides them the familiarity of the Garmin device interface with India’s most exhaustive navigable GPS data set powering it.
Compatibility
The MapmyIndia maps for Garmin devices are compatible with a range of Garmin devices including Nüvi 2xx, 2xxW, 6xx, 7xx and 13xx series.

The maps are available on an SD card and incorporate technology provided by Garmin, to fully integrate with the Garmin device and give users the best GPS navigation experience.
“With the growth in demand for MapmyIndia Navigators we also received queries from users of other GPS devices. They were interested in knowing if, and when, they would be able to use MapmyIndia maps on their devices. There were similar queries from foreign travellers – both business travellers and tourists – who could not use fully utilize their Garmin devices in India because of lack of good quality digital maps. Therefore, it was natural for MapmyIndia to make available the India maps for other devices, starting with Garmin devices,” says Rakesh Verma, Managing Director, MapmyIndia.
