ISRO's Bhuvan is better than Google Earth

The satellite based 3D mapping application from Indian Satellite Research Organization (ISRO) Bhuvan will enable users to take satellite data more closely compared to Google Earth.



Bhuvan has advanced features than the Google Earth as it allow users to zoom far closer than the aerial view from a chopper.

The Google earth shows details up to 200 meters of distance and Wikimapia shows up to 50 meters. But Bhuvan will show images up to 10 meters, which means a user can view details up to a three floor high building

The registered users will be able to browse and download satellite data through the ISRO's National Remote Sensing Centre's Open Earth Observation Data Archive situated at different cities of India.

The satellite data of Indian cities and terrain can be accessed by users from the link provided at www.bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in or http://bhuvan-noeda.nrsc.gov.in.
