In July, Esri and MapmyIndia announced a Strategic Business Alliance that is designed to expand the use of geospatial technology in India. MapmyIndia has extensive data covering all of India’s 600,000 towns and villages, approximately 10 million points of interest and 1.9 million kilometers of highway and street network. The company plans to migrate its entire data production environment to the ArcGIS platform, so that it can take advantage of Esri’s cartographic tools and workflows. Over 80 percent of all automotive navigation systems installed in India use MapmyIndia data and the company sends out data updates every four to six months.
Indian application developers and end users will benefit from the platform for GIS and location-based services development. MapmyIndia’s data will power Esri’s geocoding and network services throughout the country. Esri’s cloud-based ArcGIS Online will make it possible for more people to access GIS data in India through low-cost subscription offerings.
