At VidTeq.com, we provide location service and driving directions in and around Bangalore city. The novelty is that we provide video map based driving directions. We provide the video clip of the route from any source to destination inside the city. Not only that we provide the pictures of the intersections, major landmarks and other information along the way. We believe this is the right technology that helps navigating in countries like India, where we don’t have directional boards. For example, when we give instruction that “Take left on MG road”, you may not find any board showing MG road, you will confused. We simply send the picture of the intersection and tell him to take left when it looks like picture. We believe this is the right technology for India. We currently have service for Bangalore city, we are planning to expand to other cities in India.
