Timescity

Timecity caters to the most happening cities in India. So when you're in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Goa,
Bangalore, Jaipur, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Chandigarh or Ahmedabad, the app uses GPS location to give you information on eateries, pubs, events and movies near you. Click on 'Restaurants' or 'Bars and Clubs', and you are served a list of establishments in your vicinity along with contact details, popular dishes, and even reviews. You can then sort the results based on distance from you, ratings and price. TC also lets users post their own reviews of the place they've visited; click on the 'Movies' button and you are shown all the flicks playing in theatres close by; you can even read reviews and watch trailers. Since Timescity uses your location, you also get detailed map routes.

MapmyIndia Map

If you are going to be visiting places within India, You should try MapmyIndia Maps. The app helps you with turn-by-turn directions, highlights places of interest (places of worship, ATMs, museums, malls, petrol pumps, police stations, etc) and traffic updates, if available. Maps cannot be saved for offline use, so your device will need to have an active internet connection. If your handset is not supported, you can still access the service on its website (m.mapmyindia.com) from your mobile browser. Also, if you are travelling in a group, it would be a good idea to also install ReachMe by MapmyIndia on all phones. When lost, you can send your coordinates to the rest of the group. The app, in turn, will give your friends directions on how to get to your location.
