Do you have the need for regularly updated images of locations around the world?
Perhaps you need imagery to integrate with an OEM solution you are developing?
Or maybe your organization uses large amounts of high-resolution imagery each year, and you are seeking a low-cost option for this data?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then the solution you are looking for is DigitalGlobe Basemap (GBM).
With DigitalGlobe Basemap, you have access to millions of square kilometers of imagery with low cloud-cover and off-nadir angles. This data is accessible in streaming web-mapping services as well as through an online viewer. And perhaps the most important feature of GBM is the regular updates you can receive as out-dated imagery is often of little or no use to our valued clients.
February 2016 Product Update
For February we feature another update on Global Basemap +Vivid. This product offers countrywide (or very close to countrywide) 50-cm color coverage for more than 140 nations of the world. The orthomosaics have at least 10.2-meter Circular Error 90% (CE90%) accuracy which can be better in limited areas. With a large portion of the world covered, + Vivid is an ideal solution for applications that require low-cost offline or streaming basemaps with minimal metadata associated.
