Data Sets & Subscription Plans

Free

Legacy (2016) imagery set available for free in GeoFS. Theses global satellite images come from the Sentinel-2 (European Space Agency) Copernicus mission and provide a resolution between 10 and 60 meters per pixel.

To compensate for the lack of precision, GeoFS overlays generic graphics for all runways longer than 5000 feet.

Free

Super Resolution images are provided by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence as part of the Satlas program. These AI enhanced images have been reprocessed from Sentinel-2 and NAIP satellite images to reach a resolution of 1 meter per pixel.

While AI can be wrong and "allucinate" at times, this level of resolution should be sufficient to recognise runways and most ground features, allowing for VFR flight.

per year

Subscribe to GeoFS HD to fly with, global, high resolution (sub-meter) imagery. These images are particularly suitable for VFR flight.

And to enjoy HD as it should be, subscribers also get GeoFS ads free!

Microsoft Bing Maps imagery is being retired. It will be replaced from October 2026 onward with ESRI Aerial Imagery (identified as HD* in GeoFS).

New subscribers will be able to switch between MS Bing and ESRI until October 2027. Past this point, MS Bing imagery will stop working, even if you have a ongoing subscription. ESRI will then be the only imagery available to HD subscribers.

If you are unsure about this change, please just subscribe for one month and/or make sure to try (using the free trial) the new imagery before subscribing as it may differ substantially from the old data set.
