Why doesn’t NearMap guarantee monthly updates?
A. We all understand the immense value that seeing change over time gives you – this has never been available before because the costs would have been unthinkable. One of NearMap’s unique values is we provide regular updates and we keep all PhotoMaps online for you to use. We have every intention of flying city-wide PhotoMaps every month and our record to date speaks for itself in that regard. However we cannot anticipate favourable weather (and particularly cloud) conditions and/or clearance by Air Traffic Control authorities, so we are not able to commit to a specific schedule. By virtue of our innovative technology, we typically require less than ten hours flying time to complete a city-wide PhotoMap, so we don’t need much of a window to operate.
