My Planet Maps offers fast and easy streaming access to high-quality global map content, updated regularly. The maps offered include a global mosaic of 10-meter resolution satellite imagery, 50 cm and 20 cm resolution orthophotos of France, and OpenStreetMap maps available in different styles.
The global imagery mosaic, produced by PlanetObserver, is at the heart of the My Planet Maps experience. Thanks to advanced colorimetric processing processes, this layer offers a unique and homogeneous visual experience up to a resolution of 10 meters. It provides a rich and reliable geographic context updated annually. In addition, a layer of high-resolution orthophotographs of the whole of France completes it, recently released by the IGN (National Geographic Institute) which provides extremely detailed geographic information.
In addition, a set of global vector maps of different styles completes the platform to offer a complete user experience. In addition, a hybrid layer combining imagery and vector data provides a detailed reference map covering the entire world. All layers are perfect for tracking and communicating on various activities anywhere on the globe.
My Planet Maps users can easily connect their GIS applications (ArcGIS, QGIS, etc.) and business applications to the platform. Imagery and vector data are accessible via OGC-standard web services (WMS, WMTS, TMS). This greatly simplifies the access and integration of high-quality data. In addition, Airbus and IRSN (French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety) are already using the platform, developed by Kalisio. Users are fully satisfied with their daily access to the service and appreciate its reliability.
With the My Planet Maps online mapping service, users can easily combine global imagery and vector maps available on the platform with their own content and work environments.
My Planet Maps provides solutions to many projects based on geospatial data. Mapping projects, mission and operations planning, territory management, resource tracking and more, are fully adapted to this service. It supports users in their missions, whether in defense and intelligence, territory management and mapping, energy or civil engineering.
