Police have launched an inquiry into the mapping contest held in
February-March this year by Google, following a formal complaint by the
Survey of India.
Mapathon 2013 violates national security interest and violates the National Map Policy.
As per the National Map Policy, 2005, “The responsibility for producing, maintaining and disseminating the topographic map database of the whole country, which is the foundation of all spatial data vests with the Survey of India.”
Mapathon 2013 asked Indians to map their neighbourhoods and send their maps so that they can be uploaded in the search engine’s sites.
