Bhuvan Earth, Bhuvan Download, Bhuvan Isro
ISRO , Indian space & research organization has launched Bhuvan, a satellite mapping tool similar to Google Earth and Wikimapia.
Bhuvan was launched on 12th August 2009.
Bhuvan offers resolution up to 5 metres and is said to be a competitor to Google Earth.
“Bhuvan will be able to give you an image from only 10 meters away”, isro spokesman said.
Check the Official site www.bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in
Bhuvan can take closer pictures of the Indian Subcontinent as compared to the Google Earth.

Bhuvan is capable of taking a zoom level of up to 10 meters, while Google Earth features a zoom level of up to 200 meters.
“With Bhuvan we will be able to produce very local information which will be specific to only to our own country. This information available from this mapping system will be useful in addressing very local problems like floods, famines, infrastructure development, education and much more,” said ISRO chairman Dr G Madhavan Nair.
Unlike Google Earth, however the Bhuvan application will not be downloadable and will not allow users to host content in the near future. “We are not competing with Google,” said Jayaraman.

HAIL “ISRO TEAM”
.. very very good gift for everyone this INDEPENDENCE DAY. from your team …. made india proud again
Dear Sir
I had seen google earth in US. And I was interested in having similar site for India as I travel a lot and I have still not seen India thoroughly. So it is a great achievement for India. My best wishes to ISRO for keeping us upto date.
HATS OF ISRO
GREAT JOB
I AM PROUD TO BE AN IDIAN
JAI JIND
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY
HATS OF ISRO ,GREAT JOB
BE PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN
This will show the world that TIME HAS COME FOR INDIA.
Only windows and that too only IE? Lame. I mean I do appreciate the effort but that is really poor execution.
official website is still down though i was able to download from software.blog.co.in hope it will help to those who really wana try it
Incredible India and Indians
Right now this software has
1) Lot of other features than what google provides. Which is really good.
2) But google also provides some features that this software is not providing.
Qualitywise Google earth is miles ahead. Resolution of the map is no where near Google Earth.
I am Patriotic, but just realise the facts as it is.
Fantastic work of ISRO sciencetiests.
Great gift to Indian on Independence Day
sare jahan se aacha hindostaan hamara
Dear Sir,

Jai Ho!!!!
A perfect gift on the Independence Day from our great ISRO Team.
Be Indian and be proud to be India.
Jai Hind
It’s a great achievement by OURS(INDIANS)

Only if we could get the website working before showering so much praise on this development….hmm…
I am proud to be Indian!!
Great work done by ISRO………..chill……….
I am not able reach Bhuvan web site the whole day. I am surprised whats big deal making gr8 s/w if u cannot accsses the website itself???????
http://www.bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/ it is not coming up.
takes longer time.
Great work by Indian scientists, far better than Google Earth. I’m just proud of them.
cool down guys.
don’t go overboard with the ‘saare jahan se acha’ backpatting.
google earth is cross platform.
not restricted to windows XP/Vista.
Naam badey aur darshan chotey. I can’t even open the web page.
Really gr8 achievement by Indian scientists, We are proud of ISRO….!!!
very good programme by ISRO.
but not working, please tell us way ” how to open webpage”
only in news , India is great but ISRO…?
This is an aweful execution of a great idea.How many of you guys actually seen this website working?I’m in this mapping industry for a long time and I know google still miles ahead.Before all this hype one of the member should have paid attention to the site..IT DOES NOT WORK…and at least i dont have all the time in the world…..i’d love to say good work to the team..but CAN’T…
When i was trying to access this site it will not give any response.
This web page is not available.
The web page at null might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Excellent….
One of the best initiative by ISRO, we should have patience to have a look on this software, web-site has been already flooded by so many users.
well…..done……ISRO..keep it up..!!
great work by great Indian people…..!!
sare jaha se accha hindustan hamara…….!!
It is great achievement of ISRO. Though it is slow but i hope it will increase server capacity in near future.
May be great achievement, but cannot access the website!

congratulation the isro team for their great job.kindly tell us how to download the bhuvan earth.
Mera Bharat Mahan.

Really commendable efforts of Our ISRO Team.
This time again, we have proved our mettle and shown to World that India is fastly progressing and always stands Number 1 in competition.
Keep it up and Expect such innovation ideas in near future also.
Thanks for giving such a nice software.

india is great and will be always great. no one can underestimat us
Hats off to the ISRO scientists.
It seems to be another PR exercise by an Indian Govt. organisation on the lines of `Rs. 5000′ computer! Rest assured Bhuvan will always remain third-rate, literally, after wikimapia and googl-earth.
we all indians must salute to isro team for this wonderful website.
keep it update.
brij sachdev
what the heck……….
Its utterly shame
problem with Indian are before any initiation application launch we indian praises a lot……that’s a shame
Website didn’t open but finally opened next days of its official launch
The end results are pathetic….
I have read in many blogs , couple of website about Bhuvan will be far superior then Google earth ??? but its isn’t near to Google earth comparison
I don’t understand why so many Indian are praising this piece of shit without even using it
Please don’t make mockery of yourself.
Cheers
Hi
isro guys great work.
but we are not able to download the bhuvan
its like what is the use of pickle if its not used in the dinner
what is the use of Bhuvan if we cant download and use it
like google earth or miccrosoft bing
Hello ISRO team,
We are Indian students in United states. When we came to know about Bhuvan Earth we really felt proud. We all are eagerly waiting to use that website.. apparently there is a problem in loading website but we will keep on trying…
Thanks,
this is good but to do more
i didnt like this site
http://www.Bhuvan.Nrsc.Gov.In
this site is not opening &displaying page load error
please take care of this site and give us information wht we want
this is not good on maintaining sites like this pls take care
the ISRO peoples are still updating the site and fixing broken link probs and perhaps in runtime…so poor even see to that.
if u are unable to download bhuvan from ISRO site try this link :
http://bhuvanmap.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-access.html
chk out the new ISRO bhuvan site here, the old one is not working…..
Bhuvan is just great.
Kya bakwaas chizz hai yeh…works only with IE ,then it uses skyline technologies for software purpose .Third class product from ISRO .Google Earth ki Jai Hoo.They shoudn’t lacuhed this thing without even getting closer to Google earth in first step .
It isn’t even close google map .Not even 10 % .Made by an Indian doesn’t really mean to appretiate everything that Indians make .
I hope ISRO does something or else all the hype will be gone and not body will use it any more (as it is useless right now )
NOW !! FuCk-off with americans .. and let them know.. who is more intelligent .. Hindustan Zindabaad ..
Site;s slow but it will work….. register first then you’ll need to download a program which wil take 30 mins since the site’s speed is slow now. So i hosted it on my own site, freel free to use:
Register first:

one more step towards the top
that’s great
I am really excited to see the demo, but cannot able to login. It takes forever…
Please do something about the bandwidth. It’s like we can go to the moon easily, but having hard time to go from one block to another within the city.
hai all of u this is the great day for us that we proved again that we r not depend on others we can develop our own …………………….
thanks to all who worked for bhuvan
very good…..
i like it……
but how i can download it….
please tell me……
GREAT JOB INDIA.
INDIAN SCIENTIST AND ENGINEERS WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.
Not “India’s home-grown’ it was bought from Skyline.
http://www.skylinesoft.com
Bhuvan launch is great .. but my friends, it is definitely not a google earth killer .. its purpose is totally different – http://php.onnlist.com/blog/?p=20
Hat off to every member of your team.
Al the best. keep the good work going.
Nitin Pawaskar
Proud to be an Indian.
i appreciate the efforts of ISRO scientists .. i m sure Isro will soon overtake NASA as BHUVAN did to GOOGLE EARTH
Happy Independence Day !!!
Bhuvan can be compared to the initial release of nasa worldwind the first of its kind long before google earth with minimal resolution and 3d terrrain.
In order to compete with google earth bhuvan has to come a long way.
in my opinion plus points with this beta release are:
Gives : accurate administrative border state, district , and even panchayat which google earth cannot provide but resolution low.
Hope they will be continually adding data to get richer images
Many more features like soil, local weather report, and terrain data yet to be added
This beta release wnt work in direct x 10 so cant use in vista
Internet explore was always been buggy, so just imagine it loading bhuvan through a plugin.If Bhuvan was a standalone software it would have been better with some user cache in HD so that the next time we connect images load faster, No terrain exaggerated view as in google, surface altitude is not displayed during th e zooming out / in.
It may take years to add all data like the local road names building names as already seen in google but it can be done only if they provide a more detailed imagery…
Hope huge changes will be made in software as well as in terrain data in the coming releases.
Jai Hind
ISRO you have made our country proud
Alas..I am a Ubuntu UNIX user. Will try with XP and then leave a comment. For now my congrats to SIRO for attempting such a thing.

Great work team…. Makes me fell again that I am proud to be an Indian… Kudos…
i want bhuvan
i have tried bhuvan earth. it is really pathetic. no where near google earth.
Shame…
It’s not opening in my PC, an icon like earth is installed on my desktop but very quickly disappear, when I tried to open the link page is open
Be sure before launching website, this seems how intelligent and experience staffs have been in ISRO…shame
great work isro. u make all indians proud. now here s a problem. downloaded the pgm. but dosent open. can some1 help.
Good effort by ISRO. But the usage and resolution of google earth is far far better than Bhuvan. Any way the effort of ISRO is important. ISRO can try to compete with NASA.
JAI HIND
GOPAL
bhuvan is not an indian software but is a name of an satellite imagery system which is integrated and viewed in a platform with the help of a usa made software called terraexplorer.
u can read more about the next version of bhuvan, ‘Bhuvan ChandraBhumi’ here :
http://bhuvanmap.blogspot.com/2009/08/next-bhuvan-version.html
site is up and working properly.follow the FAQ and and bhuvan is a real great thing to be proud of.
This Technology is Really well helpful to India, we give the answer to the world. But this may be Misused By some time, as spacial on Terrorist Activity.
india is great…..we r proud of u isro…team…..
Accessing the Bhuvan Earth site is very difficult. The server seems to be choked and unable to handle the traffic? Most of the time, the connection gets timed out whek we try to access the site.
WOW WHAT A QUALITY….SPEED AND ACCURACY…I JUST WANA SAY WE CAN BE LATE BUT WE ARE ALWAYS DONE WHAT OTHER CAN’T DREAM EVEN… KEEP IT UP YOU PEOPLE….JAI HIND
Dear Isro scientists you have proved India will be No 1 in a very short while.
JAI HIND
ISRO—you people are the best in the world….
stop not till the goal is reached ………
I am worried that it may be used by terrorists to target India with a precision.
Its really a wonderful achievement. Congratulations to each and everone who involved in achieving such a feat. JAI HIND.
I use google earth to search any address and location whenever I wish to go to any place in Auckland. It is awesome, you can’t believe!!!—-3D and as if the camera is on your forehead. No doubt, it is good that India has also done some thing ……..
THANKS TO U BY ALL INDIANS
REALLY IT IS FLAWLESS,
AND
KEEP IT UP
TUM HINDUSTAN KI JAAN HO
I am a GIS student in Austin Texas I use Google Earth all the time.Was excited about Bhuvan so I went and registered and downloaded but when I try to enter Bhuvan from the download page it brings me back to the same page. May be somebody can help me accessing it.
‘Bhuvan’ is a joke.
It is nowhere near to Google Earth/ MS virtual earth
Imagery is very crude and it takes eternity to load
hi to all
hi to allllllllllll
GOOD JOB INDIA,,,,,,as one f the wise said ”india will be the wisdom to the world”
ISRO,
We are proud of you.
Great Work!!
Keep the good work going.
Will make India a grate Nation in world
ISRO Bhuvan is launched on 12 August 2009. You can find more detail here:
http://www.etechplanet.com/post/2009/08/22/Overview-of-ISRO-Bhuvan-(A-satellite-based-3D-mapping-application-from-ISRO).aspx
Very good Job ISRO. I saw Bhuvan. It is a great step for Indians. While it is no where to what Google Earth .. but great Initiatives come from small steps..
Today the Giant Google was initially nothing more than a Garage company that just provided only a search engine.
a lot of interesting thing!!!!
which one and all must have a clear look….
this is osam
isro is the best
Don’t launch some third rate software that bring shame to Indian science. This software is total crap and shame on the government that official owned its development.
i want see
great work keep it up,
no competition but development
dats r strategy
I spent (wasted) nearly two hours installing and running it. Regret to say I am grossly dissappointed when I compare it with Google earth. ISRO claims that it can bring imagery of up to 10 metres for major Indian cities compared to 200 meters for Google Earth. I don’t understand what that means – image quality is nowhere near Google earth. As Mallapottell commented, don’t bring shame to India by launching some crap software. People who are praising this software, please correct me if I am wrong – may be I have made some mistake in installing and this software.
very good softwere.thanks isro
just i want see
u people did a exilent job.. it will present our country as a strong nation
Most of the guys commenting here are nuts. They think appreciating some third rate product made in india is being patriotic. They want to compete with USA without even understanding the capabilities of USA.
There are very few sane voices here who are just comparing Bhuvan with Google earth and then telling the actual facts. ISRO has long way to go. I do not understand why you have to make some false claims of achievement which you cannot deliver and bring shame to you. As one has commented here that rest assured Bhuvan will remain third rate product. I sincerely hope Bhuvan will prove him wrong. But for that to happen they have to update and modernise the entire product again.
Download the latest plugin for Bhuvan at isrobhuvan.org
I m developing GIS .I want to work by Bhuwan Earth.How will i start it.
its fantastic
i am a student just know the bhuvan website
isrobhuvan.org is good place to download the plugin, just downloaded from here and was able to download it fast and easy, thanks isrobhuvan.org
I search for my home town of Whitley Bay – could not find it. So I tried Newcastle, a fairly big city in the north east of England – could not find it. Also could not find New York in the USA. It found Goa, in India, but the resolution was really low, no street level detail. Website was awkward, clumsy, and crashed after one minute, otherwise, good work guys!
On the other hand, western spiritual teachings are a pile of pants compared to the Light of Asia!
i can’nt even access the address. how do i download BHUVAN EARTH?
jaikishan, don’t bother downloading this shit. Shame on the Indians who congratulated ISRO. This shows their standard of thinking and level of intelligence.
