JAKARTA - As the official partner and only Google Maps Premier Partner in Indonesia, Terralogiq, a leading LOCation Intelligence solution provider, revealed that Google Maps will present many new features in Indonesia.

Delivered live at the "Map The Way Indonesia" event on Tuesday, May 27 at the Google office, Jakarta, Terralogiq CEO Thomas M. Hendy said that Google would gradually shift its focus on developing the Maps feature to Indonesia.

Jadi kalau sebelumnya itu Google Maps di luar negeri mungkin lebih lengkap fitur-fiturnya, lebih advantage, dan lebih maju. Sekarang kita bisa baha bahagia karena sekarang fokusnya dari Google Maps itu adalah di Indonesia, ungkap Thomas kepada media.

With this plan, users and business people in Indonesia will experience a variety of new features that are more relevant and adapted to local needs, ranging from mouse road navigation to integrated weather data and real-time traffic.

Through this event, Google Maps itself seeks to understand the market in Indonesia, starting from what is needed by all parties, both business players and the government sector.

"So they will come here for some time to find out more about the market in Indonesia. Because there are many features that may not all of them exist in Indonesia," continued Thomas.

Examples like earlier, for example, like okay now you will know more about the rat road, or for example about the API's weather, about the air, about the macem-macem. So the features will be more advanced in Indonesia.

This Google move is not without precedent. Previously, India was the main laboratory for various Google Maps innovations, ranging from community-based features to micro navigation data. With the completion of this phase, Indonesia is now the main target of further development.

"If India used to be the focus, now it's our turn. This means that in the future there will be more relevant features in the Google Maps application for Indonesia," explained Thomas.

Some of the new features that are being prepared and are likely to be present for Indonesia include:

Google is also committed to adapting these features based on input from local users. Therefore, as a partner, Terralogiq will help Google to collect feedback from the business, government, and community sectors.
