Since the launch of Bhuvan, users have experienced various difficulties. One problem is that the Bhuvan site has, at various times, been either inaccessible or very slow (due to less bandwidth and servers). Updates to the website later made the Bhuvan portal faster and more responsive. Also, the NSRC created BhuvanLite for a faster experience and also launched Bhuvan Wiki. Bhuvan Wiki is a web application designed for publishing information and engaging Bhuvan users in sharing and contributing their knowledge to other users. It is useful to all Bhuvan users in finding topics of their interest to explore. It provides information on user interests and helps to better connect with the users. Bhuvan does not require login to visualize the maps. Users need to register only when they wish to download satellite data (up to 25m resolution LISS-III data) and products (like
NDVI, OHC datasets,
Cartosat Digital Elevation Model, etc.) To overcome the plug-in restrictions and platform dependency for 3D visualization, Bhuvan comes with a
WebGL-based open-source
virtual globe. It only requires WebGL-enabled browsers. Since the initial, buggy beta release, a more stable version has been released, with which users have reported fewer problems. A discussion forum has also been started for users experiencing difficulties. ==See also==
