I'm developing a diagramming tool using aerial imagery as a reference layer. This tool should allow the user to zoom in quite close to a roadway or intersection. Unfortunately none of the public map services I have tested supports zooming in close enough. Are there subscription map services out there that have imagery with resolution high enough to zoom in quite close to the roadway?

The USGS seems to have 1ft imagery for all (most, many) of Florida's counties. They are available via WMS from http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov/WMS_Capabilities/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Florida/capabilities_1_1_1.xml?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=getcapabilities

There also is the ImageConnect service from Digital Globe. Spot Image is also preparing a similar service, SPOTMaps online, but I couldn't find a reference yet. Both are, will be, available as WMS.

It might be worth while to check out GeoEye, or alternatively NearMap (not sure if this works outside of Australia, but works with OSM XML connectors)

1/10/2010: NearMap does seem to only have some High Res imagery in Australia.

  • go.nearmap.com/coverage suggests that NearMap is also available in the US - I suspect that availability is more recent than your answer.

ESRI World Imagery service can be added to ArcMap as a base map layer and has a decent coverage of (1-meter or better) satellite imagery for most urban areas in North America.

    That's the one I've been using, but it doesn't allow us to zoom in quite close enough.

You can purchase aerial photos of the entire state of Florida here:

Beverly Renard Technology Specialist FREAC/Florida State University C2200 University Center 296 Champions Way P.O. Box 3062641 Tallahassee, FL 32306-2641 850-644-2305 850-644-7360 fax

That will get you over 300 GB of MrSID files. Then you need to setup the infrastructure to serve those images.
