Now the Global Mapper is available in French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, Spanish, and Turkish as well as the original English version.In each of Global Mapper’s non-English versions, all of the software’s menus, windows, and dialog boxes have been reformatted into the local language. Additionally, translated versions of the extensive help files and documentation are now available with each local release.
“Global Mapper’s worldwide footprint has been rapidly expanding for many years.” “While many non-English speakers have learned to adapt their GIS operations to work in English, we understand that productivity is significantly improved when the software is available in their native language. For this reason, we will continue to work with our partners to release additional language versions of Global Mapper.” stated Blue Marble’s President, Patrick Cunningham.

Twitter feeds forecast real time water, weather and flood for Texas
The USGS Texas Water Dashboard developed by USGS is a online service that provides critical real time water information, weather and flood for Texas at your fingertips on a desktop, smartphone or other mobile device. The USGS uses Twitter to craete twitter feeds and to map the information on weather and water.
With the help of Twitter, USGS TX FloodWatch (@USGS_TexasFlood) and USGS TX RainWatch (@USGS_TexasRain) were developed to distribute water level and precipitation data: . The FloodWatch feed automatically sends out tweets anytime one of about 300 selected USGS streamgages throughout the state rises above the NWS-defined flood level, and delivers information within minutes. The RainWatch feed tweets when rainfall exceeds a rate of 0.4 inches per hour.

IRNSS, the India's own GPS
IRNSS-1G, seventh of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) launched on Thursday 28 April 2016, completed a constellation of satellites that will give Indians access to a dedicated satellite navigation system that will not be dependent on foreign governments or suppliers. The system provide accurate position information service to users in India and the region, extending up to 1,500 km from its boundary, which is its Primary Service Area. Beyond that will lie an Extended Service Area, that will extend up to the edges of the area enclosed by the rectangle imagined by latitudes 30 degrees South and 50 degrees North, and longitudes 30 degrees East and 130 degrees East. Currently only five nations have a satellite system offering Global Positioning - the original GPS is owned by the US Air Force and Russia has its parallel system GLONASS. The first satellite of the series, IRNSS-1A, was launched in July 2013. Two more satellites were launched the next year. In January and March this year, ISRO placed fifth and the sixth satellites -- IRNSS-1E and
IRNSS-1F -- in space. Officials of ISRO said the cost of building the satellite system was Rs. 1,420 crore.
"We used to be dependent on others for navigation, today we have become independent. This system is dedicated to our sailors and the world will know it as NavIC," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.
