Imagery on Your Terms.
Sanborn’s open licensing policy allows purchasers to determine how their data is used and shared within their respective government, university research, or business GIS user community. When you purchase imagery data from Sanborn there are no recurring licensing fees, nor does your right to use the data ever expire. And you have control over the creation and use of derivative products from the data.
- When we collect data for you, we consider it to be your data. Your access to data does not “time out” and we won’t restrict your usage.
- Jason Caldwell
Vice President of Business Development and Sales

Derivative products.
Orthoimagery is a gateway to a wide variety of derivative data products. We employ a combination of imagery processing techniques, photogrammetric compilation, and GIS-based mapping methodologies to extract data features from imagery to support complex natural resource, environmental, planning, or spatial analysis problems, everything from: elevation contours, hydrographic features, street centerlines, building outlines, and much more.
