ISRO Joins MapmyIndia To Develop India's Indigenous Mapping Portal

The India Space Research Organisation and MapmyIndia, a navigation technology solution partner have collaborated to develop an indigenous mapping portal and geospatial services. Reportedly, the collaboration will use MapmyIndia's digital maps combined with the satellite image and earth observation data, captured by ISRO to deliver India's own mapping and geospatial solutions. Touted as a move towards ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’, once finalised, the initiative will discard dependency on foreign organisations for navigation, maps and geospatial services.
