Something to note is that, while Google sources its mapping data from two external GIS vendors (Navteq and TeleAtlas), MMI’s maps are created by its own team of surveyors. The web application is built on top of the mapping database. You can drag the maps around and use sliders to zoom in/out, besides the ability to browse using compass indicators. You can also use the right click for a host of features. My first reaction is that, it is not just a me-too product, but has some pretty innovative features which are tailored for the Indian condition.
