CUSTOM SEARCHES

How can I order products for large sites?

In some cases the project area you have is so large that we must charge more. Please provide us a detailed map of the area as well as any other pertinent information so we can provide a cost estimate. We will try our best to give you approximate coverage and turn around time.
back to top

My site is really big how will you handle that?

How we deal with large sites depends on a couple of factors: First the layout of the subject property and secondly the photos covering the area. We also take into consideration what you are trying to do and we come up with a way of handling just about any size site. We have been doing this a long time, and are very good at finding solutions that are not only efficient but also cost effective.

AERIAL

Do you have Aerial coverage of my site?

Aerial coverage can be very site specific. Each flight line is different and so the only way we can tell you for sure what will cover your site is to do a site specific search. For this reason we offer a FREE HISTORIC AERIAL COVERAGE REQUEST FORM .

When you submit this form we will do a search for coverage of your property and return a list of years available. If you have something specific you are looking for (either a date range or a physical landmark) please let us know. If we have that information it can aid us in returning relevant results for your specific case.

Will I be able to see my house on the photos?

In most cases yes, but usually not much detail beyond that. You will be able to identify there is a strucure there for instance, but you would not be able to see if there was construction going on or an antenna on the house.

If there are trees covering your house you will probably not see the house very well if at all....

What is the resolution of the photos?

Resolution is the dots per inch the original image was scanned in at. In most cases our imagery was scanned at 600- 1200 dpi.
This does not mean that the clarity is the same on each of the photos. This is because the photos in our collection were all flown at different altitudes and captured with different lenses. This will affect the quality of the image and in some cases resolution is irrelevant. We always try to match the best quality image to the purpose.

Can I see a fenceline along my property?

Probably not but it is not totally out of the question. The best way to tell for sure is to let us do a search and see what the image quality looks like for your area.

Fill out the HISTORIC AERIAL REQUEST FORM and let us know what you are looking for specifically and we will advise you whether we think our collection will be helpful for your application.

Can I see when a building was constucted?

If the building is a decent size and was not built under trees there is a good chance but we cannot say for sure until we look at the images for your area.

Fill out the HISTORIC AERIAL REQUEST FORM and let us know what you are looking for specifically and we will advise you whether we think our collection will be helpful.

How much area will the photos cover?

Our standard scale is 1 inch to 700 feet. This covers approximately 1 square mile. If we adjust the scale to 1 inch to 500 feet the area covered is about .80 sq miles.
back to top

Can I preview the image before I buy it?

It depends. Our collection is very large and is stored in multiple different formats. If we have the image in a readily available format we can send a watermarked image for you to preview. Some formats require that we acually do the job in order to get the image. In these cases we are not able to provide previews.

If we cannot provide a preview, we will give you our honest opinion on whether the image will acomplish what you are looking to acomplish. We do not want to sell you something that is useless to you so we are as upfront an honest about the limitations of our imagery as we can be.

Can I order a single photo only?

Yes. When you place your order you have the option to select SINGLE PHOTO and indicate which year you are interested in in the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION section. If you need to see if we have a particular year in our collection for your site use our coverage request form and we will check to see first.

What if I don't know the Latitude or Longitude?

Street Address or Intersection is fine. If it is an area with neither of these once you have submitted the form you can upload a map for us to locate your site from. Remember the better location you can provide the better results you allow us to return.
