SatNav Technologies (India) Introduces Laptop GPS Navigation & Trip Planning Software

SatNav Technologies, a pioneer of GPS Technology in India, now adds a PC software to its wide range of GPS products. The Windows program can be used on a desktop, in your home or office, as a trip planning tool, and it can also be used in your car, on a laptop, in conjunction with a USB or Bluetooth GPS receiver, as a navigation tool. The new product is based on software by Destinator Technologies.

SatNav's GPS products are sold under the brand SatGuide. As of this morning (March 4, 2008) I don't see the new offering mentioned at www.satguide.in, but moneycontrol.com has the story: http://www.moneycontrol.com/india/ne...e/19/45/328931

India based SatNav Technologies originally launched the laptop/desktop version of SatGuide only for the corporate market. However, because of the demand from customers, the company is now making the trip-planning and GPS navigation software program available also in the retail market.

Is any of our readers based in India? Anyone has had the opportunity to try this product, yet?

Hi to all on this GPS forum. I'm new to GPS and am waiting for my Bluetooth receiver to come. I will be using it as a phone enabled device firstly, then when I get mobile, probably on a laptop(mini notebook). I travel to India a lot for a 6mth holiday every year, so if it works on my viewty I could use it and report back via internet cafes. Bombay to Callcutta,then to Orrisa is commonly my route. Delhi to Amritsar/Jammu I've done. Goa/Kerala/Madras a few times. If I had maps of Nepal available these could come in handy. My next trip is about August time. I travel light by train so knowing where I am in the night is good to know. Anyway that's it for my first post. Im new to GPS and mobile phones do my head in so I will be scanning the forum for a while if i have any probs.......jim

Hi Jim, to Laptop GPS World.

If you try SatGuide software on your laptop, please do spend a few moments in an Internet Cafe during your travels across India, and post a review. It would be highly appreciated.

SatGuide is now offering detailed maps of Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune along with detailed maps of Jaipur, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Kanpur, Nasik, Nagpur, Panaji, Patna, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, etc. SatGuide maps cover large areas of the cities including outskirts with major and minor roads. You may try to contact satguide.in about the map data for Nepal which you will need.
