The government and the highway police are finally waking up tothe appalling condition of most Indian highways. The state Highway Police and the National Safety Council are jointly developing a new online navigational tool on the lines of Google Map, which can be downloaded and accessed on most mobile phones. This will help drivers navigate highways better and know exact locations of nearest hospitals, accident-prone zones, sharp turns and other important locations.

APP MAP: The National Safety Council and State Highway Police say the downloadable application will map every hospital, garage, eatery, phone booth and even approaching sharp turns on highways. File Picu00a0
