TruEarth® 15-meter Global Satellite Imagery
Features

 

 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION.

TruEarth® 15-meter imagery is the baseline for global, natural-color, Earth imagery. A complete, 3.6 Terabyte, global mid-resolution dataset, TruEarth® 15-meter imagery is ideal for web mapping, simulation, visualization and GIS applications. 

TruEarth® 15-meter imagery provides complete, best-available, substantially cloud-free, global coverage (except Antarctica) of the Earth at 15-meters-per-pixel resolution. We provide TruEarth® imagery in 1° x 1° drop-in GeoTIFF, ECW or JPEG2000 image tiles, each with 7,200 x 7,200 pixels.

You've seen TruEarth® on Google Earth and Google Maps... discover why TruEarth® is the preferred imagery for some of the most visible web mapping services; simulation applications; and broadcast, print and film. TruEarth® imagery is also playing an important role in next-generation Synthetic Vision aviation flight displays.

TruEarth® 15-meter imagery licenses are available in either an End-user or OEM Integrator type. End-user licenses allow use of the imagery for essentially any creative or technical purpose other than resale or distribution of the product. OEM licenses allow embedded use and distribution of the imagery in physical devices, software applications and web applications.

Explore the complete global TruEarth® 15-meter dataset using the TruEarth® TruViewer™ (Google Maps API enabled).
