What is Satellite Mapping Software?

Satellite mapping software utilizes images taken from the government, NASA, or business-owned satellites. These images are far more detailed than traditional map images and even aerial imagery.

While most maps only include select information about the Earth’s surface, high-resolution satellite images contain every geological formation, manmade structure, and piece of foliage.

This makes maps created with satellite images ideal for projects that need to showcase geographic landforms, such as mountain ranges and crevices, and landmarks like buildings, roads, and highways.

The increased detail is made even more clear when you zoom in on satellite maps. See slight changes in elevation, patches of vegetation, and the exact location of any building.

Satellite maps are perfect for a wide range of tasks, including:

What Can You Do with Satellite Mapping Software?

Customizing Satellite Maps

Just like traditional maps, satellite imagery is customizable. Use your data sources and Maptive’s large toolbox to build personalized maps for your projects.

  • Map Markers: Plot customers, stores, sales reps, suppliers, and other geographic coordinates using map markers. Change the look and color of your markers however you like to make your map your own.
  • Heat Maps: Measure the density of your data in a given area. Heat maps are perfect for plotting sales, customers, population levels, and more. See where your data is most prevalent and where it’s lacking.
  • Build Territories: Create territories based on established boundaries, such as zip codes, counties, or states. Or use the drawing tool to map out custom territories based on your business locations and customers.
  • Demographic Data: Maptive gives you access to various demographic data, including population, income, education, housing, age, labor, and more. Overlay this data on top of satellite images to learn more about a specific area.
