On the off chance that Google Earth indicates points of interest upto 200 meters separation and Wikimapia upto 50 meters, Bhuvan will demonstrate pictures upto 10 meters, which implies you can undoubtedly see subtle elements upto a three story high building furthermore include data.

Essential components of Bhuvan:

• Access, investigate and picture 2D and 3D picture information alongside rich topical data on Soil, no man's land, water assets and so forth.

• Visualize multi-determination, multi-sensor, multi-fleeting picture information

• Superpose managerial limits of decision on pictures as required

• Visualization of AWS ( Automatic Weather Stations) information/data in a realistic view and utilize forbidden climate information of client decision

• Drawing 2D objects (Text names, polylines, polygons, rectangles, 2D bolts, circles, oval)

• Drawing 3D Objects (setting of expressive 3D models, 3D polygons, boxes)

• Snapshot creation (duplicates the 3D perspective to a skimming window and permits to spare to an outer document)

• Measurement devices (Horizontal separation, elevated separation, vertical separation, measure region)

• Shadow Analysis (it sets the sun position in view of the given time making shadows and impacts the lighting on the landscape)

• Urban Design Tools (to construct streets, intersections and movement lights in a urban setting)

• Contour map ( Displays a colorized landscape guide and form lines)

• Draw apparatuses (Creates simples markers, free hand lines, urban outlines)

Least System Requirements:

• Operating System: Windows XP/Vista; RAM: 512MB; Hard Disk: 2GB free space; Network Speed: 256 Kbits/sec; Graphics Card: 3D-able with 32MB of VRAM; Screen: 1280x1024, 32-bit True Color;

• To skim Bhuvan, you require the Bhuvan Plug-in which can be downloaded from this site, after enlistment and you will likewise require DirectX 9.0 or higher form (www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/) and MS .NET system 2.0 or above for introducing the module.
