ISRO-developed 'Bhuvan' to give a stiff competition to Google Earth

Bhuvan is the a Goe-mapping application that was launched a year and half ago, which is expected to give Google Earth a tough time. Bhuvan displays satellite images of Indian landscape, in resolutions ranging between 5.8 m and 55 m, that allow surfers to view cities and various places of interest from a perpendicular view or from an angle.

Users can navigate these places in 3D. However, unlike Google Earth, Bhuvan imagery doesn't boast of any commercial establishments, or any in-built weather forecasting tool. Locations can be viewed from different perspectives and will allow for the measurement of distances. The Bhuvan portal is designed even to run on slow Internet connections. The imagery steers clear of all sensitive military installations in India out of security concern. Read more at www.yreach.com
