PRECISION IN EVERY DIRECTION

Resolution, accuracy and frequency required for reliable maps, at global scale

You can’t use an old map to explore a new world

In today’s highly interconnected world, businesses and consumers demand more details from their maps to increase efficiency and provide better user experiences. In shipping and delivery, accurate maps allow distributors to identify optimal directions, visualize the end address, and locate the actual front door or loading area. Autonomous navigation relies on high-definition maps to complement onboard sensors to ensure safe driving. And consumer applications increasingly use detailed maps to enable services like precise pick-ups and drop-offs for ridesharing or facilitate exciting adventures such as exploring remote outdoor locations.

Mapping is in our DNA

Maxar has been the foundational geospatial data source for most consumer-facing maps for more than 20 years. Only Maxar offers the right combination of resolution, frequency and scale needed for global mapping applications.

Navigation

Stunning, realistic basemaps for a better experience

Navigation applications that reflect the real environment allow pedestrians and drivers to trust their maps and focus on their destination. Visually knowing where they are and where they're going provides greater situational awareness.

Maxar’s imagery basemaps provide a stunning, reliable foundation at global scale to support mapping, visualization and analytics.

LAST-MILE DELIVERY

Currency to identify change and validate map updates

Knowing where change has occurred is key to keeping maps up to date. Whether you identify areas of concern via automated change detection or from information on the ground, knowing exactly what changed is necessary.

With Maxar’s daily imagery collections, you can monitor progress of rapidly evolving areas at local and global scale, while also verifying, updating and expanding your maps.

Using Maxar imagery, HERE’s Map Creator takes maps enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI) and makes them even better with real-time, real-world feedback from local users and volunteers.

HIGH-DEFINITION MAPPING

Precision to detect and extract features for digitization

Autonomous vehicles use several onboard sensors to ensure safe driving and these sensors need to be cross-referenced with a high-definition (HD) map for the vehicle to know its exact location. HD maps are believed to cover less than 1% of the global road network, and urban areas and local roads need to be mapped in more detail before automated driving can become a mainstream mobility technology.

Maxar’s high-quality geospatial data provides reliable information on lanes, road markings, features, road furniture and more. You can build your own HD maps and autonomous technology with frequent updates, current imagery, change analysis, feature extraction and 3D data from Maxar.

3D IMMERSIVE MAPS

The world is not flat. Your maps shouldn’t be either

Consumers are expecting more from their maps and embracing new ways to explore our world: taking a virtual tour of their favorite location, exploring cities through a new 3D view, or getting customized information such as walking directions through augmented reality (AR). As consumers embrace these immersive, lifelike experiences in their everyday lives, AR applications that reflect the physical location of the user continue to become more popular.

Maxar’s 3D digital twin of Earth provides the foundation your maps need to power navigation and visualization reflective of the real environment, and anchor experiences at the right place and time.
