From the first ‘Spatial Manager Desktop’ versions, access to vertical NearMap images has been included as a preset option through the dynamic Background Maps technology (as well as OpenStreetMap, Bing, MapBox, and others). Now you will also be able to enjoy and benefit of the impressive NearMap Oblique images

For Australian and American users, NearMap Oblique offers a gallery of high resolution images showing any location from multiple directions. NearMap Oblique enrich your existing data and better contextualise your environment

As you can read on NearMap website, get a natural, on-the-ground perspective. No need to worry about vegetation cover or tall structures blocking your view

In addition to the Vertical NearMap maps, you will now find in the NearMap tab of the Spatial Manager’s Background Maps the option to select Oblique for North, South, East and West orientations

As you pan or zoom in or out in your map, ‘Spatial Manager Desktop’ will automatically download from the server the images to be displayed for optimal quality, and you can quickly change the angle of the perspective to the four predefined orientations
