Access online earth images in your projects, instantly.

DigitalGlobe's ImageConnect service for AutoCAD Map3D delivers georeferenced satellite and aerial images directly into your projects from the world's largest online imagery archive.
ImageConnect takes away the time, cost and hassle of searching for imagery, waiting for delivery, and managing large image files.

How it works

Once the plug-in is installed and the Toolbar is activated, five new icons will imbed in your software that let you choose and download images from our archive. ImageConnect detects your coordinates and projection, filling your map view with geo-referenced jpeg images of your desired date and resolution. Images can be customized up to 5000x5000 pixels (about 2 MB) in size and come with a coordinate file (worldfile). All downloads save to your computer for further use.
