India's one more leap to success

Since ISRO is an Indian Organisation and funded by govt. its obvious that military and other sensitive spots won't be highlighted in the maps.

And kudos to ISRO for taking such a step as Google Earth doesn't really map my town well.

Is it free ?

Can we really rely on indian service?

Yes, it's gonna be absolutely free.
beside about your second comment, are you doubting ISRO's capability??

Nice, keep dreaming about Google Earth killer. Another funny news, Indian media and newspapers always coming up with foolish claims.

Man, this is a serious news. do you understand the diffrence between GE and bhuvan?
GE provide a resolution of 200m, but bhuvan is expected to provide a resolution of 10m. And if feasible(considering the restrictions,security issue) ISRO can easily provide non-strategic maps with rez as high as 5m and 1m.
beside, ISRO's imaging satellite are one of the best, and next only to NASA.
just to add, ISRO's Catrosat-3(yet to launch) has a resolution of 0.3m,thats better than google's sat geoEye which has a rez of 0.41m.

also bhuvan will have an option of viewing on different dates, which is not possible in GE. You can put Tags as well...

Obviously, it won't be a GE killer, but in india, it will surely make a difference.

beside, i don't doubt GE's capability, but its US regulation that forbids it from publishing image of higher resolution.
There's no such restriction in INDIA.
this project is based on ISRO's plan to develop Geographical Information System.
also, ISRO will surely keep in mind to isolate strategically important landmarks off its map.

except that, its all business. And ISRO means business!
