Greetings,
Pictometry has launched two new products that make it very affordable
for graphics editors to acquire the "birdseye" aerial imagery to help in
their graphics.
In the past, images were procured with a seat subscription and with a
cost per image download. Now all the seats that you could want as well
as unlimited downloads have now become available. See the new
attributes here:
Pictometry Simplicity Online (PSOL)
* Full screen viewing * Zoom from 25% to 1000% * Know the
date * Ability to Measure – Height, Distance, Area,
Bearing/Angle, Elevation, Slope, Pitch, and Location * Ability to
extract a portion of the image or the image on the screen and save as a
Jpeg. All images for no additional charge. * View detailed straight
down images and Export (with a world file) for use in other GIS packages
Pictometry Online (all features above as well as below) (POL)
* Annotate images with icons, lines, circles, shading and save them
for access later. * Collaborate with other colleagues by sharing
annotation workspaces. * Host GIS layers to be made visible as a
layer.

Lastly, we provide you with a confidence level that you have found the
right property. This is based off a national database that utilizes
county GIS layers and returns the parcel centroid.
