madtuna said:I have an app that uses imagery which appears way better than Google Earth and is updated much more regularly. Comparing the two when looking at our homestead there is over 2 years difference in the images and the clarity is almost double.
If anyone knows a way to work out what imagery or sat system an app uses please post it here.
It mostly costs at extremely high resolution. Google Earth satellite images are fairly good, with a resolution of a few metres (I can see my car parked in my driveway and the shape of my house). However things like Lidar images are better for seeing mullock dumps. They are so sensitive you can even see the dirt along the side of dirt tracks piled up by the bulldozer as it moves, and more importantly it can the see through the forest canopy showing the very detailed topography of the ground beneath. Coverage is increasing and many are downloadable into a GIS programme so you can overlay tracks, building, streams, dams etc onto them as reference points (it also means that you can read the GPS coordinates of mine dumps etc). Here is some lidar of low-relief North American mounds:bhogg said:Hi All
So I'm just wondering what is so of the best Satellite Imagery that's out there Free or that has to be paid for???
And when I mean great i mean better the Google maps or google Earth!!
Something that you can really zoom in on and check out old diggings and workings ??
As it can be hard to see if there's actual mullock piles or if the ground has been flattered and what can be seen from google maps is just the clay stained ground that's been left from all the old workings.
So I'm after so ""Great Quality"" Satellite Image's so if anyone knows I'd really appreciate your input..
Thanks all for your time and help..
Cheers
