Search engine giant Yahoo! has announced that they will soon be launching their mapping services in the Indian market.
Yahoo! has launched their Yahoo India Maps service in Beta version. As of now, the company will be providing street-level, satellite map and hybrid maps of over 170 cities, 4785 towns and 220,000 villages across India. For this, Yahoo is using the data supplied by CE Infosystems.
The tech giant also mentioned that their Indian Research & Development center in Bangalore will be the hub for new products which would be aimed at emerging markets such as India and Brazil.
According to George Zacharias, managing director of Yahoo India, the potential of the Indian market for online advertising is growing at a rapid pace and is expected to grow by 50 per cent every year.
