lion-plus people for basic directions or
exploring new places. Mapping India
(or any other country for that matter)

navigation, live traffic updates and shar-
ing live locations. It is quick to identify
the current location and good at provid-

coffee shops, ATMs or parking lots.
Apple users can also use Apple Maps in

a month. Tutanota can be accessed from
any web browser, but it also has iOS and
Android apps for mobile usage.
