Imagery & Remote Sensing

What's New in World Imagery Basemap (September 2017)

In case you missed it, or perhaps you just want a refresh, our June 2017 post highlighted over 100 million km² of high resolution satellite imagery updates through our partnership with DigitalGlobe.

A quick reflection on the past year reveals a massive expansion in both coverage and currency…we know that we have raised the bar for World Imagery.  We need to continue to push hard to bring our users the most value we can.  With our sights squarely on the road ahead, we not only see continued expansion and updates of our imagery content, we also see continued innovation in how imagery is delivered to our users.  Stay tuned for more on this throughout the year…

For now, let’s have a look at some of our most recent updates to the World Imagery content.
