Google Maps get voice navigation and live traffic updates in India

Google today announced it has rolled out turn-by-turn voice navigation in India as well as live traffic updates in Bengaluru, Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Pune and Hyderabad. BGR India had reported yesterday that Google had turned on turn-by-turn navigation with voice guidance in India.

The service is available on all smartphones running on Android 2.2 and upwards as well as on desktop. Android users can access this from the navigation icon (blue arrow) on their smartphone’s application list. The service itself is free but it needs an Internet connection, which could incur cost based on their data plan.
