Map provider launches useful productIn news which may be of interest to people considering flights to India for a gap year, a map provider has announced a new product that could help travellers orientate themselves.

Mapsinternational.co.uk carried out a survey and discovered that 96 per cent of people between 18 and 35 have thought about taking a year out, while 88 per cent said they know someone who has or is about to.

Consequently, it has launched travel packs for India, Australia and south-east Asia, each containing a wall map, a travel guide book and a language kit.
