India encompasses one-sixth of the world's population, has a ubiquitous cultural commitment to education and achievement, and is on the cusp of being an economic superpower. This paper summarizes the remarkable, parallel growth of India's geospatial technology industry with respect to its economic growth, in two parts:

Part I - The background and history of geospatial information in India, plus a look at the existing map policies and constraints (included here)

Part II - Evolutionary changes, and conclusions (to be published next week)

Global Trends in Geospatial Technology 
Rapid advancements in technology, especially in the realms of data management and dissemination systems, the Internet, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) - and in particular geospatial systems - have completely changed the face of the world today. These developments, in turn, have heralded a new era of technology transformation, from traditional data sharing and analytical systems to high powered and superior 4D analytical systems. 

Moreover these developments, together with the emergence of Web GIS application technology, have proven to be ever more efficient, interactive and intuitive in providing real-time solutions by way of combining highly important elements: location intelligence, map data rendering and interactivity. Above all, location intelligence has become recognized as fundamental to informed decision making.  [...]
