Use Google Maps Satellite Imagery Wisely to Avoid Dangers

September 1, 2021 By GISuser

The U.S. Department of Defense uses a tool called WorldView for military operations in the Middle East. With the advent of newer technology, the military has been able to increase its ability to plan and prepare for future operations. One such tool is the satellite imagery provider WorldView. In this article, we will look at some of the benefits of satellite imagery provider WorldView.

Satellite Imagery:

If you are interested in aerial photos, you likely have seen the pre-produced WorldView map that is often used by TV news crews. While these maps can be useful, it is important to remember there are many benefits to using satellite imagery in place of traditional aerial photos. One such benefit is that a satellite photo can provide a much higher resolution than photos taken by pilots or ground-based photographers. Therefore it is important for you as the consumer to take advantage of these benefits.

New Features:

Before WorldView-4, aerial photos were often difficult to interpret because they were not always clearly visible from the air. But with the new features included in the software, it is possible to see both sides of an object and even a front view of the object. Another added benefit to satellite imagery is that you can select objects of interest on the map such as buildings, landmarks, etc., and see aerial photos of those areas. This helps provide a great way to find interesting places without having to drive or fly to the area.

By using WorldView, you will be able to find the best places to travel, visit, or explore. Take a look at the aerial photo images and find the perfect spots to visit. WorldView offers one of the most comprehensive satellite mapping tools available.

Incredible Technology:

Satellite imagery is more than a curiosity. Nowadays it is much easier to use this incredible technology not only for scientific purposes but also for various other uses from emergency disaster recovery to land and property management. Most industries, including engineering, construction, federal agencies, and natural resources, architecture, construction, and environmental conservation agencies, use WorldView-4 satellite images in their day-to-day operations.

Recover Event of Disaster:

Some industries rely exclusively on satellite images to manage and plan their activities. It allows them to gather crucial information that will allow them to conduct effective recovery operations in the event of a disaster. In essence, it allows them to save hundreds, if not thousands of lives. In the case of emergency rescue operations, for instance, using satellite imagery allows responders to assess the location and intensity of the damage before they send in the necessary resources. They can also map the damage and pinpoint which infrastructure needs immediate attention to get operational.

While there is no denying the fact that the satellites have helped us in getting a global perspective of the Earth, what is being overlooked is the fact that the users also need to be updated with the current version of the imagery. Users of Google Maps Satellite Imagery are in essence, being provided with a digital map that they can use to visualize the Earth and to plan out their activities. Irrespective of whether one is planning a trip or just wants to get a glimpse of the beautiful countryside, it is possible to use the imagery to your advantage. The only thing to keep in mind is to choose a reliable service provider.
