Zoomtra.com, India's largest travel search engine has added yet another tool to their gadget shelf. This time it is driving directions powered by RouteGuru which includes landmark based route instructions, route map and auto rickshaw fare finder service.

The service will help tourists who come to Delhi by guiding them through the shortest route between any two locations in Delhi/NCR along with distance and an approximate auto rickshaw fare for that route. The service is auto-prompted when a user searches a flight or a train 'from or to' Delhi region on Zoomtra.com. The service will also help Delhiites discover routes to the Indira Gandhi international Airport and various Railway Stations from their location.

Vikas Jawa (Director, Zoomtra.com) said that, "This is a new offering to our users in order to further enhance their travel experience. We will continue to offer the most comprehensive travel information with innovating newer tools and services for our users. We will look forward to extend this service to other parts of the country jointly with RouteGuru.

Avinash Agrawal, CEO, RouteGuru, said, "Zoomtra is clearly a leader in travel search space. We are excited to provide this new experience to their users. This also marks the beginning of the web-syndication phase for us. The idea is to extend our product through good 3rd party applications that would benefit from it."
