Navmii India Navigation-Coming Soon

May 1st, 2012 waveguru

Bada has very limited number of Navigation application in Samsung app store and most of those Applications are not very useful for Navigation purpose. So, I decided to ask “Navmii” whether they are interested in creating Navigation application for Bada –India.

As you all know, Navmii/Navfree navigation application is already available for Bada but for few countries such as France, Switzerland, Spain etc. So, I asked them whether they have any plan for Navmii application for Indian Users and I got following Positive Response :-

So, according to their Response, Navmii application for India is in pipeline but they can’t provide Time-frame for the arrival of the Application. That means, we can expect Navmii application for Indian Wave users but, application release date (Time-frame) is not yet decided.
