Satellite Imagery Is Outdated and Too General

Satellite maps are often months or years old, with cloud coverage, poor angle, and low resolution. For fast-moving industries in Arizona — like real estate development or roofing — they just don’t cut it.

You can’t spot roof damage or verify construction progress from 10,000 feet up.

Drone Mapping Gives You Real-Time, High-Res Site Data

Modern drones, like the DJI Matrice 4T, can fly a property and capture sub-centimeter-level detail with up-to-date images from every angle.

Whether you need a 2D orthomosaic or a 3D model, you get:

• Images taken just minutes ago

• Visuals with <1-inch resolution

• Options for thermal overlays, elevation models, and distance calculations

Accuracy Matters More in Arizona Terrain

Arizona’s irregular desert terrain, multi-level commercial buildings, and dense residential sprawl mean satellite views distort perspective. A drone can:

• Fly lower and avoid distortion

• Capture roof pitch, slope, and damage

• Provide consistent angles across all surfaces

• Map job sites with true scale and real-world elevation

This is critical in places like Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa where property layouts are tight and high-value.

You Own the Data — and Can Use It How You Need

Satellite platforms like Google Earth don’t give you image rights. Drone mapping delivers:

• Raw imagery

• Custom reports

• Exportable models

This lets roofers, real estate teams, solar pros, and site managers use the data for insurance, planning, progress tracking, or client deliverables.
