Paris, France 7th January 2014 – In 2013 AeroGRID added 1.5 million km² of high resolution aerial orthophotos of Europe to its WMS servers and now provides access to 25 countries and 4.6 million km².
The comprehensive metadata with detailed accuracy specifications mean that users can be confident the imagery will provide a sound basis for their projects, at a very affordable price. A further 850,000 km² of territory is ready to be added to this significant online resource.
