Bhuvan- a satellite mapping tool - an alternate to Google earth ?

Though its premature to claim the advantage of Bhuvan over the Google earth, the comparison between the two like :

1. Google Earth-single layer information, whereas Bhuvan has multilayer info;

2. Google Earth: Images upgraded every 4 years , whereas Bhuvans' are updated every year;

3. Google Earth: No alternate viewing options, whereas  Bhuvan has options of viewing on different dates ;

make a superior option. 

Well done, ISRO and keep going like this and achieve success in ur future Mars Mission. Its really interesting to note the achievement on the eve of 62 nd Independance Day Celebrations....
