MapBrowser Basics
- Explore a location - Quickly find a location of interest by street address, latitude and longitude coordinates, suburbs, places of interest or by simply copying a MapBrowser URL. You can switch between base layers to change your perspective and get a closer look.
- Take measurements remotely - Nearmap high resolution imagery means you can inspect and measure sites from the comfort of your office. With the built-in measurement tools, you can confidently take line and area measurements, and leave notes with the annotation tool.
- Navigate back in time - Every subscription comes with access to our rich catalogue of historical content which enables you to go back in time. Every imagery is timestamped, so you have a reference of when the photo was taken and compare imagery to detect change.
- Export imagery - We made it easy for you to export high resolution imagery to use in your presentations and design workflows! Use the Export tool to download georeferenced or high resolution imagery of your project area. Use the Snapshot tool to take a screenshot at your screen's resolution.
