Pricing
Pricing is influenced by two main factors:
- Size of mapping area
- Type of satellite photo: new or archive
New vs. Archived Satellite Photos
New Photos
With new satellite photos, we can ensure that your maps include the most current data. Satellite collection normally takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. It can be delayed by factors such as persistent cloud cover.
Archived Photos
For some situations, it may be possible to use archived satellite photos for mapping projects. This lowers cost and skips the time required to collect new satellite photos. Archived photos can also be used to create a historical topographical record. In some cases, archived satellite photos are available going back as far as the 1960s.
Regional Mapping Package
These are pricing estimates for the Regional Mapping Package:
For 500 km² map | |

Mapping vs. Surveying
PhotoSat’s mapping products are equivalent to a Digital Surface Model (DSM), as ground features such as trees are not removed. In contrast, PhotoSat’s surveying products are equivalent to a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), since ground features are removed.
Our Regional Mapping Package is suitable for exploration planning.
