Compass now supports a Nearmap Imagery integration to allow users of Nearmap to access high-resolution vertical, oblique, and panoramic aerial imagery in Compass Road Intelligence.
If you are an existing user of Nearmap, please contact info@compassiot.com.au with your Nearmap API token to enable this feature. If you are not a current Nearmap customer, please reach out to us to obtain a license.
Nearmap provides high-resolution aerial imagery, 3D content, AI datasets, and geospatial tools. Using patented camera systems, Nearmap proactively captures wide-scale urban areas in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand several times each year, making current content instantly available in the cloud via web app or API integration.
The integration provides better visuals across the road network to understand changes to road and roadside infrastructure or temporary traffic measures. You'll be able to better visualise affected sites, track changes, and manage your road network.
How to set up the integration:
