The Best Alternative for WhatsApp and Google Map
Hello everyone,
Oxford has recently released the Hindi word of the year 2020. Can you guess what could be that word? This word was uplifted by Indian PM Narendra Modi during his speech amidst lockdown. Thereafter the word went viral everywhere like news and social media. Many memes were made on this word. The word was… AATMANIRBHAR. The internet was loaded with this word and finally, it became the Hindi word of the year 2020.
Meaning of Aatmanirbhar
Self-reliant or self-dependent is the meaning of the word Aatmanirbhar. However, until now most Indians were using foreign products especially products from China. The Aatmanirbhar campaign might get success in order to switch most of them to use our own indigenous products. Here I will talk about indigenous or alternative apps which can be used instead of the foreign application.
Google Map Alternative
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and MapmyIndia have collaborated to develop an indigenous map system to overcome the monopoly of Google in the mapping system. Right now, the only wide accepted app in the navigation sector is Google Maps. Every smartphone user knows about it.
Google is best known for providing the best user experience and easy to operate applications to their users. No one would be ready to give up on using its product to adapt to other applications. However, it is not impossible to eradicate the monopoly of Google from the navigation sector if someone presents a better product.
An MoU has been signed in order to develop our own 100% Indian navigation and mapping system between ISRO and MapmyIndia. The MoU has been signed between the Department of Science (on behalf of ISRO) and CE Info System Pvt. Ltd. (owned by MapmyIndia).
ISRO has already developed the NavIC system also known as the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS). It is designed to provide accurate position service data to users in India and areas surrounding up to 1500 km outside the Indian boundary (as stated on their official website).
IRNSS will be providing two types of services: Standard Positioning Service (SPS) for all general users and Restricted Service to authorized users only.
