Global Basemap – A Worldwide Imagery Solution – Monthly Update

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’s Global Basemap (GBM).

With Global 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 Global Basmap is the regular updates you can receive as out-dated imagery is often of little or no use to our valued clients.

February 2014 Global Basemap Product Update

During 2014, DigitalGlobe has committed to an impressive update schedule across the United States and its territories. For the US and Territories (expect for Alaska), 90% of the land masses will be covered with imagery that is less than 12 months old. And for Alaska, 70% of the land mass will be covered with imagery less than 12 months old.

Starting immediately, there is a lower priced entry-level transactional model (i.e. pay-per-click) for GBM. Further, the number of clicks for each pricing tier has been significantly increased!
