I recently took a position in a firm I didn’t even know was listed; higher-end alternative to Google Maps, Australian company Nearmap (NEA). I first became aware of Nearmap when they mapped Brisbane during the 2011 floods, letting users see a before and after of key areas. By regularly photographing at higher resolutions than Google Maps, there are significant applications within a number of industries, such as Government, Construction, and any other organisation which requires regularly updated, high resolution maps.
