Big for mapping: SkyWatch added Spexi orthomosaic imagery to EXPLORE and HUB — stitched, orthorectified 2.8 cm GSD coverage across 38 North American cities.

Users can programmatically pull datasets for overlays, planning and measurements (infrastructure, utilities, insurance), upload reference imagery to tighten alignment, and expect premium tiers plus future oblique/multi‑view products.

CEOs say it lowers friction to decision‑grade drone data. #DroneImagery

The latest #SketchMapTool release now integrates with #OpenAerialMap, letting you add freshly captured drone or openly licensed imagery as a background layer using just an image ID. 🗺️

This empowers local actors and community mappers to combine aerial views with on-the-ground knowledge in a single, seamless workflow.

As a result, #ParticipatoryMapping becomes even more accessible and efficient, in #humanitarian contexts and beyond!

“Soar.Earth is the home of maps on the internet. We’re on a mission to create the world’s largest digital atlas, built on maps and imagery from individuals, organisations, and the broader community.

Our platform allows anyone in the world to view, upload, discover, and interact with an enormous library of high quality maps and images. We’re bringing together every map, satellite, and drone image that has ever existed, or will ever exist, in one place.

Let’s build the world’s largest digital atlas together.”
