¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ just added over 1 million square kilometers of imagery covering major cities in the US, Canada, and Europe. That¡¯s more than 6.6 million pixels, with resolutions ranging from 5 cm to 25 cm, that give an updated view to plan a drive, track a delivery, or look at recent hikes.
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ is working with a new partner, , to bring high-resolution aerial imagery over cities in Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Finland, and Norway for the first time! Our U.S. and pre-existing European aerial coverage has also been updated with recent imagery. Through this multi-year partnership, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ will provide ongoing updates for the most populous and fastest changing cities, ensuring customers are working with the most current data possible.

¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ Aerial Imagery: Vital for Safety, Decision Making and Exploration
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ customers use aerial imagery in a variety of ways. It provides additional context to the map when exploring a new area for an outdoor excursion. It helps set property boundaries for security cameras or pet monitoring. It helps identify structures for business opportunities like roofs for solar panels or land for development. It also serves as a great reference for change over time, helping determine how to resource for changing and expanding city boundaries. For this reason, it¡¯s pivotal that imagery remains up-to-date and high-resolution.




Updated, high-resolution ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ imagery can also be be used in games like .
"In Unzoomed, players try to guess a hidden city based on an aerial view. Each incorrect guess reveals more of the surrounding aerial view. I¡¯m thrilled with the imagery refreshes from ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ that make for crisper & richer gameplay for hundreds of cities in Unzoomed." - , Software Engineer and Creator of Unzoomed
The Benefits of ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ Aerial Imagery
Using ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ aerial imagery, part of the ¡®¡¯ layer, provides a number of benefits to customers:
- It delivers a seamless collection of imagery covering the entire planet. Sourcing even medium-resolution global imagery like Landsat or Sentinel would take months of engineering time to process and render the data. Sourcing commercial imagery just for a single city can cost upwards of $10,000.
- It combines over 25 high-resolution sources of imagery, including from commercial leaders like Vexcel and . ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ manages these sources and builds transitions to create a ¡°best of¡± layer, eliminating the need for customers to discover, access, and process different imagery sources.
- ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ makes periodic updates to the imagery so customers don¡¯t need to manage this themselves. Customers get access to recent, high-resolution imagery so they can provide the most accurate information to their users, and make business decisions based on up-to-date information.


¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ Expands Open-Source Imagery Coverage Across Europe
In addition to the new Vexcel partnership, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ continues to leverage a variety of open-source imagery. Aerial imagery is often collected by local or national governments to provide their citizens with a variety of services, and ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ continues to bring this amazing data into the imagery layer. This round, new open data covering Czechia and Poland was added to complement open-source updates over Spain, France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Denmark. All told, over 500,000 square kilometers of open data across Europe was added.
Access Updated Aerial Imagery


Looking ahead, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ continues to source the most relevant, highest quality imagery available. The multi-year partnership with Vexcel ensures a steady stream of commercial data will be added, and the continued pursuit of open sources will augment coverage wherever possible.?
