RouteGuru Analysed…

This post was inspired by a comment I received for the article on Yahoo! Maps. Its about a website called RouteGuru which is aiming to do something similar to Yahoo! Maps, except that it currently has routes only for Delhi - NCR and no other cities.

To be fair to them, the website is currently in “Alpha”.

Nonetheless, I gave it a try to see what directions it gives from Connaught Place, New Delhi to Lotus Temple, New Delhi.

The results were quite good, except for the fact that there are no maps shown. It would be nice to have a map displayed just like Yahoo! Maps.

What was a plus point for them, is the fact that the driving directions can be sent as a text message to your phone.

The challenge that all such websites for Indian driving directions is going to face is to cope up with the numerous changes done to handle road traffic — one way roads, two way roads, roads completely dug up, etc!
