Community Maps Imagery Updates

It is looking to be a very productive year for our Community Maps Program.  Over the last two months we have updated our World Imagery basemap with high-resolution aerial imagery contributions ranging from 4 to 30cm.

A few highlights:

  • 21 US Counties

  • 9 Canadian City and/or County-wide contibutions

  • Complete State/Province-wide contributions in Spain, Switzerland, and Germany
