i am not going to be a scapegoat for this service but it does not look like a partnership with mapmyindia as well. they have a vast database.

i heard about this on twitter. just a question. what is the source of data on these apps?

i mean if they are also relying on users driving around with the app running... what is the freaking point?

deliver instant traffic information/traffic situation at different parts of your city, right from the Traffic Control Room.

not very sure about this process.

lol. looking at the screenshots. what a freaking mess. tries to be waze as well.

i wonder how they would respond if people start reporting speed checks and other types of warnings

considering these messages are moderated before being spread to other users, i suggest sticking with waze instead.
