A bird's eye view.
Nearmap Vertical, our flagship high resolution top-down imagery, is included in most Nearmap subscriptions. With far higher resolution than satellite imagery and greater coverage than drone maps, Nearmap Vertical is an ideal place to get started with virtual site visits.
Nearmap Vertical imagery is made up of individual photos that are taken from survey flights. Each image is corrected to remove distortions and phenomena such as cloud and smoke, then stitched together into a mosaic, allowing you seamless panning and zooming throughout the areas of your subscription coverage.
