Indian automotive shops, now on Google Indoor Maps

Thanks to BHPian Warwithwheels for bringing this to our notice.

Google Maps has recently started a new feature called Indoor Maps in India, which gives users access to floor plans of various places that are participating. These places include shopping malls, museums and other establishments. Certain automotive shops are also listed.

Indoor Maps can be accessed using a computer or a smartphone. On Android phones, it requires the latest version of Maps to be installed.

Indoor Maps provides a 360 degree view of the inside of the organisation. Users can get an idea of the layout of the shop, the range of products it deals in and the brands that it stocks. Using the zoom function, one can get a close look at a particular product that he is interested in. The details appear good enough to make the model number and description of some of the products legible.

Additionally, one can check out the ease of parking, the service bays available and the ease of access for aged or disabled people at the organisation.
