What would be a cool first step is to have a hybrid layer of bhuvan satellite imagery with osm map overlay. This should be ok with proper attribution to NRSC/ISRO according to their terms: http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/bhuvan/bhuvan_terms
Here is the tile request link from the inspector: http://tile5.nrsc.gov.in/tilecache/tilecache.py?LAYERS=bhuvan_imagery&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=95.625,22.5,98.4375,25.3125&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256 On Sat, May 16, 2015 at 11:57 AM, Sajjad Anwar <m...@sajjad.in> wrote: > On Sat, May 16, 2015 at 11:54 AM, Shekhar Krishnan > <shek...@topomancy.com> wrote: > > Ishan can you point us to wms or tiles feeds for Bhuvan?
