India maps on mobile, first look
Just learnt that MGMaps has added Yahoo India maps support. What that means is now, using mgmaps and selecting Yahoo India maps as the map provider, you have lesser ways of getting lost in India. The default search is still from Google though. I actually didnt know about mgmaps until the Google controversy. But the app is one helluva sweet little thing. Works like a charm.
I was thrilled for a different reason though. I wanted to see how our maps look on a mobile. Sort of a first look for me as well. Aah, looks sweet. I searched all over the place and got my archaic digi cam to take a pic of my phone with our maps (these days, I click only with my phone).
What do you think? Is a mobile map app something that Indians want ?

Looks nice. How did it work? I was trying some J2ME maps applications, but all that I could do is to emulate it. Nothing would work in the mobile. The mobile manufacturer had blocked all the communication ports.
I also heard that you have to register your j2me app with the mobile manufacturers to do use the ports.
Is Y! Planning to do anything like this?
I would be interested !
