better to use Google Navigation....
 
If Airtel is using Google app for their service then its foolish to subscribe Airtel's service as we can have Map and Navigation service for free.
(I fear and hope it never comes true, that Airtel would someday block all free Navigation/Map apps if people are not subscribed to their Smartdrive service).
If I have provided evil idea to Airtel, please remove above line 🙂
 


If google was the source, they would not be restricting the service to just Delhi & NCR, Mumbai and Bangalore.
 
I am wondering why someone using Nokia and android phone will pay for this duplicate service when they already have the original service for free.
 
That might be because their research (and common sense) would suggest that these centers have people who would need a navigation system as well as be willing to pay for it.
 
Check out their handset compatibility list. All are high end handset. 😀
 
i am not going to be a scapegoat for this service but it does not look like a partnership with mapmyindia as well. they have a vast database.
