This will serve as a guide to accessing & using resources that allow you to make and export a map online, either using data you provide, or data provided by the platform.
The CONNECTExplorer is a web-based application that offers EagleView’s high-resolution aerial imagery gives organizations the finest level of detail to rapidly make crucial everyday decisions. EagleView imagery (formerly Pictometry) is captured with patented proprietary camera systems that enable you to see the world from multiple perspectives.
CONNECTExplorer allows the users to view and analyze high-resolution aerial imagery, including high-quality oblique and orthogonal images. The application offers useful functions such as measuring height and area of buildings, spaces, or even trees. The annotation details can be exported as CSV or KML files. The images can be exported as graphic files including JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, GeoTIFF (Orthos only) which are generated in Zip file, KMZ (LatLonQuad or LatLonBo), or PDFs. The exported aerial imagery can be integrated into any GIS software.
Access to CONNECTExplorer is provided on a case-by-case basis because Yale University Library holds 25 accounts. Please submit your request to gishelp@yale.edu and we will contact you to discuss your project and the length of time you will require the account.
