I am sure most of you are aware and keeping track of this. Survey of India / DST takes a step on digital maps representing the country's boundary, files a complaint against Google! It will be interesting to keep a tab on this. More troubles to Google, as this comes after the Mapathon event!
Here is the official word on this from their Facebook post <https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=894090357277177&id=277739112245641&fref=nf> : It is observed that M/s Google Map is wrongly depicting external boundaries of India on maps hosted by them on different domains, namely http://www.google.cn/maps/@25.7377892,88.726647,4z and https://www.google.com/maps/@25.1367452,80.1073483,4z , which are not equivalent to Government of India authentication. The correct official boundaries of India has been shown at http://www.surveyofindia.gov.in/fil.../Correct_India_Map_1.pdf <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.surveyofindia.gov.in%2Ffiles%2FCorrect_India_Map_1.pdf&h=WAQGS5vQh&enc=AZNiarC7YaARtZIxN5apmQDyhCrncT0hQ421xHVoYOMJyElRbJHsUeVdEovbwRg31QZYnJ6Nlxdp-UCqmSLCX3ld8SB53waywyaF2gItaG0TdekJc3MYlcWOAa79FSP9FFg_KjEMmyIev-1WTmU3DOW9nPxYwx-2JM6D7QOUkFDVxw> In this regard, on the instructions of Department of Science & Technology, Survey of India has officially filled a FIR with SHO, PS Dalanwala, Dehradun on 12-12-2014 at 18:00 hrs requesting them to take appropriate legal action against M/s Google Maps for displaying incorrect map of India.
