GeoPlace runs a story on the Indian initiative for web mapping. From the article: "NRSA's bouquet of high-resolution images will not carry features of defence installations and, therefore, be of no use to the enemy.
Unlike the outline maps produced by the Survey of India, NRSA's ‘image atlas' will comprise high-resolution pictures showing the physiographic features of the globe. "

Directions Mag reports the state of global navigation satellite systems with a focus on India. From the article: "While many western countries are already in the saturation stage, India is still in the introductory stage. India has its own technology to launch its own satellites but it has not made an effort sufficient to create awareness about the use of GPS in day-to-day activities. [...] New satellite navigation systems - the European Union’s Galileo, Russia’s GLONASS, Japan’s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System, and China’s Twinstar - are going up. The speakers talked about the use of GNSS and of various augmentation systems in use and those which are being planned." There's also 6 India-related previous stories linked below.
