Overview
Nearmap Oblique for ArcGIS allows you to create a customizable oblique viewer which you can use to view and measure off Nearmap oblique content. You do this by installing the “Oblique Viewer for Nearmap” widget on an ArcGIS platform.
NOTE: Access to this widget requires a subscription to Nearmap Oblique for ArcGIS. Talk to your Nearmap Account Manager for more information.
Oblique Viewer for Nearmap is a custom ArcGIS widget, which means it is not a widget that Esri provides. An administrator needs to install it in one of two ways:
- Bringing the widget into Portal (ArcGIS Enterprise).
This is the recommended option. - Bringing the custom code into Web AppBuilder and hosting it (along with any other ArcGIS widgets).
The above platforms can run the widget on desktop, tablets and smart phones.

Nearmap Oblique imagery
Nearmap Obliques allow you to view a location from multiple aspects (or at an angle). So rather than seeing the vertical "bird's eye view", you can also see objects from its various sides.
Key features of Nearmap's oblique imagery include:
- GSD: 7.6 cm or 3” / Vertical Accuracy: 15cm or 6”
- Multi-perspective aerial view at a 45-degree angle
- View four directional aspects with a gallery of individual source images
- Accurate height, slope, and roof area measurements
