Case Study: City of Grapevine keeps the city moving with current aerial data from Nearmap

City of Grapevine gets new aerial captures 3 times a year with Nearmap

The City of Grapevine, Texas, faced the challenge of capturing frequent changes across the city with limited budget and infrequent image captures from traditional aerial imagery providers. Their GIS team received over 50 map requests monthly for projects ranging from redevelopment to event planning. To address this, the city turned to vendor Nearmap for its high-resolution aerial imagery service.

Nearmap provided a solution by delivering new image captures three times per year, enabling the city to be more accurate and capture changes in near real time. This imagery was used for detailed planning of community events like the annual Christmas parade and for essential services like Covid-19 testing facilities. The GIS Manager described the impact as priceless, stating that Nearmap became the backbone and starting point for all their work, leading to a greater reliance on aerial imagery across city departments.
