LBS/Navigation
Look at an LBS application today and you can expect to see world imagery at the core of the user experience. Whether it’s fleet management, local search, outdoor pursuits, social networking or pedestrian navigation, imagery transforms the viewing experience from simplified and flat, to a window on the world. Users can explore, plan and navigate with the confidence that only comes from a real world view.
Our ImageBuilder programmer toolkits, APIs and viewers offer a wide range of options for integrating imagery into web-based applications. ImageBuilder links your website to our online image platform, allowing for customized interactive viewing features without additional data maintenance costs.
Here are some of the ways that our imagery enhances navigation applications:
Automobile navigation
Give drivers the rich mapping layer of our detailed satellite and aerial images with streets overlay so they can easily find their way.
Nautical navigation
High-resolution aerial and satellite imagery, when overlaid on the chart, provide the mariner with improved situational awareness. “Real world” views of ports, harbors, marinas, waterways, navigation landmarks and other points of interest offer another powerful tool for navigating unfamiliar waters.
Personal navigation
Enhance any regular, Java enabled mobile phone or PDA with navigation and local search information over our earth imagery. Provide users with the most current and precise images available, surpassing traditional maps in usability and accuracy.
Navigation
High-resolution aerial and satellite imagery can provide consumers with a more accurate and realistic understanding of their location and the geography of their surroundings. This enhances automobile, nautical or pedestrian navigation, including for outdoor recreation and off road travels.
Fleet management
Where are your trucks, cabs, snowplows or even airplanes? And how should they be routed? Combining earth imagery with your GPS application helps you more accurately see the location of each of your assets and how to better manage all of them, even when you are on the go.
A Revenue sharing business model
DigitalGlobe leads the way in bringing imagery to portable devices, not just with our extensive coverage but also with our unique and flexible business model. Not limited to selling in dollar per km2, we offer transaction-based pricing or revenue sharing from advertising, subscription fees and unit sales – an approach that makes adding high quality imagery economically viable for any navigation provider.
