Software GPS data for 6 cities by January Our Bureau
New Delhi, Sept. 3 STARTING January 2005, the Survey of India would make available Global Positioning System (GPS) compatible data for six cities, namely, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bangalore. This would kick-off a wide range of applications for various users and particularly the automobile industry, which can then offer vehicle navigation systems based on GPS to its customers. As is prevalent in some developed countries, the car navigation system helps the drivers find out the best possible route for any destination. This is ensured by satellites orbiting the earth, which report the current position to the driver's navigation system. At the same time, modern sensors record every movement, registering even the slightest change of direction. Various automobile majors in the country plan to meet the Government officials soon in order to discuss the issues involved like standardising the navigation software and the hardware in a few days, said Government sources.
