After exiting Microsoft's Azure last month, Ola Cabs has now fully transitioned from Google Maps to its in-house Ola Maps, announced founder-CEO Bhavish Aggarwal in a post on X.

Ola Maps will soon introduce features such as street view, neural radiance fields (NERFs), indoor images, 3D maps, and drone maps.

In October 2021, Ola acquired Pune-based GeoSpoc, a geospatial services company, to support its mapping requirements.

Ola Maps will be integrated into Ola's electric two-wheelers through a software update in January.
