    Wait, what.. $211 per month for google maps with high resolution 😵‍💫

    Who actually buys this stuff?

    • +6

      Companies that require up to date aerial images (ie. google maps could be years old, this is likely to be no more than 2 months old)

      They also typically have a bunch of tools that google maps doesn't have (that help with solar calcs, measurements (lengths, areas) etc etc.)

      EDIT: I believe solar companies, councils, power/gas/telco utilities would be the main market, but probably many others that i've missed. Possibly concreting/roofing companies etc.

    • A range of use cases, but primarily businesses that save thousands from remote measurements, reduce site visits to client locations and offer measurements they can rely on and quote with, despite being done remotely. Also, allows them to view historical imagery of sites, mark up, label and export imagery for quotes, reports and more. Many satellite images on Google Maps are 2-3 years old > which is not good enough if you're a business working with rapidly changing sites.

      • Are the map like Nearmap quality?

        • Yes, the maps are like Nearmap quality. The subscription plans are structured differently, however, and offer much greater flexibility and more generous data with no monthly restrictions. It helps businesses use the product more freely without worries of costly surprises or getting cut off each month.

          • @ravigemi: How many flights do you do a year?

            • @nightelves: Captures can vary between 1 and 4 captures a year, depending on location. You can check out an interactive map that shows our planned capture over 12 months: https://amx-aus.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/df7118a9f7c8… (use the legend on the top right) > we keep updating this from time to time and aim to increase frequency wherever possible. At times, we can also do on-demand captures depending on requirements from multiple customers.

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a DJI drone and take your own shots?

    • +1

      Let me know when you’ll be taking aerial photo with your drone in urban areas with high foot traffic.

    • +1

      I guess it really depends on your use case and any restrictions on flying drones over your site. For example, if you’re quoting jobs across 20–30 rooftops in a day, flying a drone for each one quickly becomes impractical. Then there’s also weather, battery life, local flight regulations, and the time needed to process and stitch images into something usable.

      On the other hand, MetroMap gives you high-resolution, ready-to-use aerial imagery that’s regularly updated, so you don’t have to worry about flying, editing, or missing a restricted area. It’s a bit like the difference between cooking a full meal from scratch every day versus having high-quality pre-prepped ingredients ready to go.

      For many businesses, the time saved and consistency of coverage end up being more valuable than the cost of a drone and all the extra work that comes with it.

    You should have a free version, 100mb per month or something, no tools, just images.

    i remember when nearmap had a free version and then got greedy

    • Thanks for the feedback - we really appreciate hearing ideas like this. We totally understand the appeal of a free option, but providing high-resolution, regularly updated aerial imagery does have significant costs, and as a business, we need to generate revenue to keep the service running and improving.

      That said, many of our customers find that the value they get from MetroMap - accurate, up-to-date imagery without the need to commission expensive bespoke surveys—is worth many multiples of the subscription cost. Years ago, accessing this level of imagery often meant paying for a full project survey, which was prohibitive for most businesses. Today, at least, solutions like this are widely available and affordable for ongoing use.

      We might explore lighter options in the future, but for now, we’ve focused on delivering high value and consistency for our users.

      • +2

        yeah, but there's also the average joe like me who wants to see the latest maps from my local area, who isnt your target market but anyway.

      • Don’t do it. Ozbargain should not be your target market.

    • A business monetised their product and thus are considered greedy? Huh

    • Might be some merit in a significantly reduced fee version per suburb with a limit of download/queries per month. For those of us that like to look at our own house/suburb.

      But as someone already stated below, ozbargain isn't really your target market - BUT it would give you a point of difference from Nearmap and likely not eat into your target market or current customer costs.

  • +1

    FYI for OZbargainers.. vexceldata dot com slash au has free 3D imagery of urban areas.

    • thanks i already posted it as a deal…..

    • +2

      A lot of councils also have intramaps that are more up to date and better quality than google maps. Also includes a bunch of measurement tools.

      My current council seems to update 3 times a year (but have only done 1 this year for some reason), my previous one was once every 2 years, so your luck will vary.

      • Most of these councils are customers of MetroMap (or Nearmap) and offer the imagery layer for their council for local community viewing through Intramaps and other platforms. It's a good option for people just looking to view their house. For businesses looking for imagery, city/state/nationwide, a subscription to MetroMap may make more sense.

        As far as Vexcel goes, you can choose to experience their version of "free" before making a judgment, I guess. Do check licensing terms before using it for any commercial purposes.

  • How does this compare to nearmaps?
