Together, SkyWatch and Nearmap are expanding how geospatial professionals discover, purchase, and use up-to-date aerial imagery to support planning, analysis, and decision-making.

SkyWatch enables organizations to easily search, compare, and purchase commercial imagery from multiple providers through a single platform. By reducing friction in imagery procurement and delivery, SkyWatch helps GIS teams move faster, from identifying the right data to publishing imagery directly into their workflows, including ArcGIS Online and cloud environments of their choice.

Utilizing its own patented camera system, Nearmap brings aerial imagery characterized by frequent updates, broad geographic coverage, and exceptional spatial resolution. Nearmap captures imagery on a regular cadence, with multiple updates a year in major urban areas across the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Nearmap imagery, including Vertical Ultra Resolution (<5.5 cm) and Vertical Hyper Resolution (<4.4 cm), provides the detail and historical data required for change detection, infrastructure monitoring, construction tracking, and other time-sensitive applications.

By combining SkyWatch’s unified access platform with Nearmap high-frequency, high-resolution aerial imagery, customers gain greater flexibility in how they source imagery, whether for individual project needs or ongoing operational programs. The partnership supports use cases across construction and development, emergency response and disaster assessment, urban planning, utilities, and environmental monitoring, where current and reliable imagery is critical.
