New Delhi: The ISRO's revolutionary earth mapping tool �Bhuvan' was launched here today. The Bhuvan toolbar can be downloaded from http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in
The website is available in beta version.
It is believed that the ISRO's latest earth mapping tool have more features than Google Earth.
The Bhuvan is focused on Indian sub-continent barring all sensitive locations such as military and nuclear installations .
ISRO's Bhuvan is latest version of Google Earth, which allows common man to zoom into any part of the world on their personal computer using satellite images.
The new mapping service Bhuvan is a Sanskrit word of earth. It will allow users to have a closer look at any part of the subcontinent. Bhuvan will provide the pictures of objects as small as a car on the road to build three-dimensional map of the world via ISRO's seven remote sensing satellites.
The degree of resolution showcased is based on points of interest and popularity, but most of the Indian terrain is covered upto at least six meters of resolution with the least spatial resolution being 55 meters.
