Local Authorities

Getmapping has been working with local and central government for over a decade providing up to date aerial imagery and geospatial products to support everyday business activities across many different departments.

The need for geospatial products for use within government has been growing and is set to grow further as more and higher quality data becomes available. Innovative authorities have been quick to grasp the benefits of aerial imagery, providing additional insight beyond the capabilities of traditional maps. What’s more this can all be delivered straight to the desktop of any user in a matter of seconds. Getmapping data can be used for map creation and revision, analysis and modeling, surveying and measurement. Additionally it is used for tree protection, asset management, incident management, emergency response, workforce management and much more.
