Other mobile phone manufacturers are also interested to work out on a strategy for the development of digital mapping.

A novice driver will get necessary information from the GPS supported maps about the destination. A 3D model accompanied by a voice will guide the drivers in reaching destination. Drivers can place their queries regarding the place. The map will provide multiple routes to the same destination. In addition to it, the digital maps will give information about the near by gas stations, hotels, supermarkets, and restaurants.
