Kartik does indicate that certain surrounding locations are still lacking from MapmyIndia's database. Rohan further clarified that the maps are always being improved. Users can also utilise the Mappls website to report errors and assist in the addition of new locations.

According to claims in the media, Ola will replace MapmyIndia maps with their own maps, which will also be available on future vehicles. But, for the time being, Mapmyindia will be on the job, and it appears that they are doing a good job.
