SMS for directions to get to a place in Bengaluru

It is about a service which provides directions to the required destination in Bengaluru.Started by Sudarshan H S along with Pavaman Athani, Sairam Rajamani and Rahul R S the service now is being used by over 10,000 Bengalureans every day as they claim.

How it works?
To travel from Banashankari to IIMB, you need to type in: ‘From Banashankari to IIMB’ and send it to 9008890088.The reply will contain the shortest distance in kilometres, the auto fare and the detailed route with landmarks


I sent the above query and I received a response in 2 parts within few seconds
(1/2) Dist:5.2 km(approx 37Rs. by auto) BSK Bus Stand >> Sangam Circle >> Jayadeva Hosp Flyover >> Indian Institute of Management (IIMB) (2/2) After Reaching Jayadeva Hosp Flyover START - Jayadeva Hosp Flyover GO ON Bannerghatta Road TOWARDS AREKERE GATE GO 1.8 KM PASS Bilekahalli Signal GO 0.6 KM END - Indian Inst of Management(IIMB) ON LEFT reply NO if U dont like this result

I replied with a NO to see what the response will be.

Thanks for Your help!! We will check this.U can tell us also what went wrong by replying FDBK to help us fix the problem.

The charge of the SMS is the same as that of a normal SMS charged by the service provider.This service is very useful to people who do not have GPS enabled phones.
