App developers as well as enterprises are allowed to access and utilise more detailed RealView maps coverage and RealView technology-based APIs and solutions for their own use. It includes the following use cases— virtual reality, gaming, metaverse, tourism, real estate, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, municipal governance, defence, law enforcement, etc.

Rohan Verma, CEO and Executive Director of MapmyIndia, stated, “Users can also experience immersive 3D maps for pan India and detailed interactive 3D models of iconic tourist, commercial and residential landmarks across India. This, combined with Mappls’ detailed house-address level 2D maps from MapmyIndia and ISRO’s rich catalogue of satellite imagery and Earth observation data which MapmyIndia has integrated, gives a full and immersive Real World Metaverse experience to users, all indigenously built in India by India’s leading advanced digital maps and deep-tech company MapmyIndia.”

It is said to cover around 100,000 kilometres spanning various Indian regions including Greater Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Goa, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Chandigarh, Jodhpur, Patna, Nashik, Aurangabad, Ajmer, and more.
