yes you read it right.... Google Earth killer is on its way & the most astonishing part is its coming from India ...
After successfully launching Lunar mission Chandrayaan I, Indian Space agency ISRO is all set to launch it's own satellite mapping service dubbed "Bhuvan", the IRS (Indian Remote Sensing) image portal will provide satellite images similar to but with more precision & frequent updates then Google Earth, currently Google Earth provides single-layered images with zoom levels up to 200 meters and images updated every 4 years in-contrast Bhuvan will provide multi-layered images with zoom levels up to 10 meters and images being updated every year.Unlike the others, Bhuvan will focus only on the Indian sub-continent.
we can expect the service to be launched in next six months by March 2009 as ISRO has all the infrastructure already in place and a prototype of Bhuvan should be ready by November end.
