Iran is said to be developing its own 3D mapping service that will be ready for use within four months. The announcement related to the mapping service was made by Mohammad Hassan Nami, Iran's minister for information and communications technology, who mentioned that the service will be an "Islamic Google Earth" and has been named Basir (which means spectator in Farsi).

The development was reported by The Guardian which cited a report by semi-official news agency, Mehr, that had quoted Nami saying that preparations were underway for launching its 3D map project. The report also said that Iranian authorities were creating an appropriate data
center which would be able to process a large volume of information.
