MapMyIndia partners with ISRO | A strong contender for Google Maps space?

With the new 6 geo mapping Satellites on its sleeve, with a capability to watch the earth in close proximities ISRO has started a new journey. I would say it’s a good time for Map My India to improve its capabilities and host lot of new features. Comparing it to Google Maps may not be correct but a start in right direction.

All the best ISRO and MapMyIndia .

Quote:
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and MapmyIndia have partnered to offer India's best, and fully indigenous, mapping portal and geospatial services.

The platform brings together MapmyIndia's digital maps and ISRO's catalogue of satellite imagery and earth observation data, according to MapmyIndia's CEO and Excutive Director Rohan Verma.

He termed the alliance a path-breaking milestone in India's journey towards 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat', wherein Indian users would not be dependent on foreign organisations for maps, navigation and geospatial services, and leverage Made-in-India solutions instead.

"You don't need Goo*le Maps/Earth any longer", Verma said in the headline in an article on LinkedIn.

Yet to be confirmed for the merged entity since, ISRO is not like other private firms. But MapMyIndia used to get paid via license cost on their maps in Indian OEMs'(read Mahindra) navigation systems.
