[Talk-in] Id editor on Bhuvan

[Arun Ganesh]

What would be a cool first step is to have a hybrid layer of bhuvan
satellite imagery with osm map overlay. This should be ok  with proper

http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/bhuvan/bhuvan_terms


Here is the tile request link from the inspector:
http://tile5.nrsc.gov.in/tilecache/tilecache.py?LAYERS=bhuvan_imagery&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=95.625,22.5,98.4375,25.3125&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256
