including in-depth coverage of 300 metropolitan cities across 127
countries.

“ImageAtlas 4.0 is the latest example of how DigitalGlobe is meeting
the increased demand for downloadable aerial and satellite images fueled by
the growth of online portals, mapping programs and consumer navigation
applications,” said Marc Tremblay, senior vice president and general
manager for DigitalGlobe’s commercial business unit. “As the foremost
resource for businesses relying on global digital imagery to stay
competitive, DigitalGlobe is passionate about providing wide accessibility
through its comprehensive, high precision world imagery solutions.

Building on the strength of previous versions, ImageAtlas 4.0 allows
anyone to explore and use the world’s sharpest and most current archive of
premier high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery collected from
DigitalGlobe’s sub-meter satellite constellation and aerial network.
ImageAtlas 4.0 provides a number of advantages over other online imagery
sources through its historical archive selection and change detection
capabilities, distance and area measuring tools, and off-line professional
print delivery. With greater selection and control over the imagery type,
date and scale as well as integration into mapping software, users are able
to gain the best fit for their individual needs.

“Satellite images are an increasingly critical business planning tool
in real estate,” said Dave Meyer, president of eNeighborhoods, the nation’s
premier compiler of home and neighborhood knowledge. “Today’s challenging
real estate environment necessitates using creative assets like
DigitalGlobe’s image applications to enhance, streamline and bring
peace-of-mind to the real estate transaction process for buyers and
sellers.”
