GPS is a tool that merely provides you coordinates of your current location. You can use your gps coords to extract info about your current location from a GIS server. Most common is name of the location. Knowing your coords 31.62004 74.87638 does not really tell you that u are at the golden temple Amritsar.
Are there any public map server which translate co-ordinate to location / map for Indian Region?
None Afaik. But with a foss aproach should be fairly easy to map. There are lists of co-ords for many important places in india. Also ihave coords of many areas with locations. Once we get the hang of things at the gis workshop i will be uploading all of that.
