MapmyIndia, a prominent homegrown navigation company, has announced its integration of India Post's DIGIPIN platform into its Mappls app. This move aims to provide precision in digital addresses nationwide, the company revealed on Monday.
The DIGIPIN platform, designed in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad and NRSC, ISRO, introduces a geo-coded, grid-based digital address system. This open-source initiative seeks to enhance the accuracy of location data by generating a code for 3.8-square meter blocks across India.
MapmyIndia Co-Founder and Chairman Rakesh Verma highlighted the strategic partnership as a step towards modernizing India's digital address capabilities. With the adoption of DIGIPIN, users can pinpoint exact coordinates to improve postal services and navigation accuracy, particularly benefiting areas with limited digital mapping like rural regions.
