This GIS Day, Nearmap invites you to explore how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) unlock a world of innovation. With the theme “Mapping Minds, Shaping the World,” we celebrate the transformative power of location intelligence—fueling decisions that move businesses and communities forward faster than ever and celebrate how our customers are utilising GIS to drive change and make impact.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, GIS isn’t just about maps. It’s about unlocking insights at speed and scale to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Whether it’s improving urban planning, advancing renewable energy projects, or responding to emergencies with precision, GIS bridges the gap between data and action. At Nearmap, we take this one step further—combining high-resolution aerial imagery with cutting-edge geospatial analytics to make critical decision-making seamless.

Driving efficiency with precision

Every decision starts with data, but accurate and actionable data is the key to making a real impact. Nearmap high-frequency aerial captures provide an up-to-date view of our world, ensuring that organisations are not just reacting but proactively shaping their future. From reducing the time it takes to survey a site to accelerating project approvals, GIS technology has become synonymous with efficiency.  

Collaboration meets innovation

The beauty of GIS lies in its ability to bring people together. Architects, engineers, emergency planners, city leaders, and innovators across industries rely on GIS to connect their ideas with the world around them. At Nearmap, we’re proud to empower those connections with intelligent mapping technology that fuels better collaboration.

Shaping a better world

The impact of GIS extends far beyond efficiency. By helping organisations understand and act on geographic data, we’re shaping safer, smarter, and more sustainable communities. Here’s how GIS is changing the game:  
  • Urban Development: Designing future-ready cities by visualising growth patterns and planning infrastructure with accuracy.
  • Disaster Response: Delivering real-time insights to emergency teams for faster, more effective action.
  • Renewable Energy: Identifying optimal locations for solar farms and wind turbines with geospatial precision.
This GIS Day, let’s not just celebrate the technology; let’s celebrate the people and ideas it empowers. From surveyors on the ground to executives in boardrooms, GIS is helping everyone see the bigger picture—and act on it with confidence. 
At Nearmap, we’re proud to be part of this global movement, delivering the tools and insights that keep the world moving forward. Together, we’re not just mapping the present; we’re shaping the future.

What customers and employees have to say about this GIS Day

Q: Why do you love GIS?

“GIS helps people every day, often without them even knowing the important role it plays. Emergency services, drinking water, and even delivery of those online orders all depend on GIS services.”

Jeremy Priest, Asset Analyst, City of Tyler

“GIS is crucial in keeping information connected and consistent across multiple platforms and bodies of work. Having other members within a given team using the same mapping program and data ensures the information is accurate and the standards are transferrable.”

Nathan Carroll, Engineering Tech 1, The City of Akron

“I love it because every map tells a story, and every layer holds a discovery.”

Kayla Trentacosta, Nearmap

Q: How does Nearmap help shape the world?

“Nearmap provides amazing aerial imagery so that our critical infrastructure stays accurate. Underground utilities have limited places were any fixture is visible and Nearmap is able to make these visible in GIS software.”

Jeremy Priest, Asset Analyst, City of Tyler

“Nearmap is consistently updating with such high-quality resolution that it allows you to gather information in practically real time as well as the past. Having the availability to flip through each year and see how projects develop is encouraging and helps gauge future success.”

Nathan Carroll, Engineering Tech 1, The City of Akron

“Nearmap helps moves decisions, communities and humanity forward.”
