Getmapping Aerial Imagery
Prices start from £7
Features and benefits
Unlike a conventional map, aerial photography makes it possible to see what is actually on the ground and this enables users to pick out prominent features, which might range from old industrial buildings to tree belts, brooks, ponds and even archaeological features which were previously unknown.
Getmapping PLC Aerial Imagery coverage available now includes England, Wales and approximately 80 percent of Scotland with final flying (weather permitting) planned for 2009. A link to a coverage map is found at the bottom of this page and unavailable areas are 'greyed out' on the ordering interface.
centremapslive.com recommends Global Mapper as an extremely useful tool for handling purchased aerial imagery - particularly large or tiled data.
