USDA:NRCS:Geospatial Data Gateway

The USDA:NRCS:Geospatial Data Gateway - The Geospatial Data Gateway or Geo-Data Gateway provides easy and consistent access to natural resource data for United States, including high-resolution recent color NAIP imagery. You can search for available data by geographic area such as county or state, use our point and click map tool to find your area of interest; using a gazetteer, or by entering latitude and longitude coordinates. You can also search for data by theme, such as digital ortho imagery, digital elevation models (DEMs), or soils. You can then view a thumbnail, or sample of the data you've chosen to know if you want a copy of the data. If you do, you can either download the data directly onto your machine, pick it up via our ftp site, or order it on media such as CD. Of course, all of this data is ABSOLUTELY FREE for download.

centremapslive.com

centremapslive.com is a geospatial data provider for the UK including Northern Ireland with a broad range of datasets available for purchase and download. In addition to providing the key large scale datasets from Ordnance Survey GB and LPS (formerly Ordnance Survey) NI, we offer what we believe to be the broadest range of detailed suppliers for both aerial imagery and height data.

Imagery is available from the 1940s to present day at resolutions of up to 4cm.

Height (surface and terrain) data is available in grids of up to 25cm spacing and +/- 10cm accuracy. Such high detail datasets can result in significant file sizes which is where Global Mapper has proved to be an invaluable tool to many of our customers - even those with previous significant investment in 3D software tools.

Some of the most recent additions to the service include an online oblique imagery viewing and measuring tool for cities across Europe and also the provision of pre-built 3D city models.
