[Sushubh]

heh. google is of little help. a spam blog isrobhuvan.com comes in top 10 results.

Found another website here which tells how to install Bhuvan.
http://www.pluggd.in/isro-bhuvan-download-297/
dont know if it will work on linux because directx is one of the requirments.
Please paste screen shots etc. and give feedback if anyone is able to install this.

EDIT: I am amazed how slow these government websites are:O:iomg:

 

[Sushubh]

directx on linux? not gonna happen.

Was expected to launch in April. Better late than never. It promise 100 m view of Indian Terrain which Google Earth do not offer. It is India specific not like Google which concentrates on US and Europe. :clap:

yeah but it will filter out all "sensitive" data available on google..
