They have not yet enabled the multi-lingual soft keyboard or the ability to *add* public pushpins.They have street-level maps only of Bangalore (you can zoom down to Bangalore and view the street map of Bangalore in multiple languages).This is a research prototype and the company isworking closely with the Survey of India on this project. With Virtual India you can add and edit places that are seen by all VI users.View maps of India in English,Kannada,Hindi,Tamil.When will it be in Malayalm??Hey Google do u hear??More here |
