Google Maps launches support for two-wheel vehicles, starting with India

Google Maps will support two-wheel vehicle navigation, offering directions to better suit scooters and motorcycles.

It's starting first with India, before expanding the feature to other countries, Google announced in an event on Tuesday in Delhi.

And it makes sense: India is the world's biggest two-wheeler market, where motorbikes still outsell cars by seven to one.

Martha Welsh, Google Maps' strategic partner development manager, said, of the decision to start in India: "It's important that we get this right."
