Skywatch And Nearmap Broaden Access to High-resolution Mapping

Hot off a new tie‑up, a global frontrunner in built‑environment insight joins a platform that eases access to premium satellite and airborne visuals—Nearmap with SkyWatch.

Across the Geospatial Data Value Chain

For mapping teams, the collaboration broadens how up‑to‑date overhead content is found, licensed, and put to work for planning, analysis, and fast decisions. By aligning discovery and purchase in one place, the partners make it easier to access and use current geospatial data.

Inside the SkyWatch Platform

Within a single dashboard, organizations can browse, weigh options, and license commercial scenes from many suppliers. A streamlined buying and delivery flow lets teams move quickly from choosing the right dataset to dropping layers into existing workflow tools such as Esri’s ArcGIS Online or a preferred cloud.

Geospatial Data in Focus

Using proprietary camera rigs, Nearmap conducts regular capture runs spanning wide geographies and returns exceptional spatial detail. Major metros across the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand see multiple refreshes each year, including vertical products at Ultra (under 5.5 cm) and Hyper (below 4.4 cm) levels, enabling high-resolution remote sensing suitable for detecting change over time, watching infrastructure, and tracking builds.

SkyWatch in Real-World Use Cases

When the SkyWatch access layer meets Nearmap’s rapid‑cadence, fine‑detail captures, customers can source what they need for one‑off projects or ongoing operations with greater flexibility. This real-world impact spans construction and development, emergency management and disaster review, urban planning, utilities, and environmental monitoring, where keeping authoritative imagery available—whether via the content store for arcgis or cloud repositories—directly supports decisions.
