India Map Details on Net
About
60-70 percent of the land area of India could be officially available
on the Internet based on several wide parameters including latitude,
longitude, altitude, water bodies and forest cover in about a year's
time.
Till
today, policy did not permit publishing Indian map details on the
Net. Even now, the exact level of access has to be decided based
on National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) policy that would
address issues like costing, copyright and licences and value addition.
However, some broad details of map should now be available with
the recent approval of National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
by Union Cabinet. This is likely to generate a huge business opportunity
for the Geographical Information System (GIS) firms from various
Government agencies during the next few years.
