contentSutra – Isro’s Bhuvan: Far From Being A Google Earth Killer Anytime Soon

Indian Space Research Organization last week launched Bhuvan, the much anticipated satellite-based 3D mapping application that has been dubbed by many as the ‘Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Earth killer”. We have been testing the site, currently in beta, since yesterday, and can safely say that it won’t pose a challenge to Google’s popular service anytime soon. While Google Earth works on a downloadable client, Bhuvan works within the browser (only supports Windows and IE 6 and above). The site was inaccessible for the better part of the weekend and even now, it gives up or hangs the browser every once in a while. When a layer (state, district, taluk, etc.) is turned on, it renders unevenly and sometimes fails to render at all. The navigation panel failed to load routinely and it felt like a rare sighting when we could actually use the panel. But these are relatively minor quibbles compared with the biggest disappointment. The promise of high resolution images has not been kept. While the service promises zoom upto 10 metres from the ground level (this is contrasted with apparently 200 metres for Google Earth), we didn’t encounter a single image with nearly as much detailing. In fact, comparitive results for a marquee location such as New Delhi’s Connaught Place, shows why we won’t be uninstalling out Google Earth software anytime soon (click on the image to view a slideshow of images).
