Look past the price tag to see real value


Here we reviewed the differences between aerial and satellite imagery and how to download it for CAD and GIS projects. But what if you just need access to view the imagery outside of a traditional desktop mapping software?

Free viewers are great for very basic research, but the licensing restrictions that prevent the imagery from being used in commercial applications, plus the lack of tools and features that address business needs make these freebies impractical for work.
