We receive requests for an alternative sattelite image source for roofs map imagery to be utilized on the Project phase. Here's an update on an exciting new feature that you can expect for Q3.
Where do we get satellite imagery available on Sighten?
At the moment, Google Maps provides us with Satellite imagery. At times, what is displayed on in Sighten may not be similar to vary from what Google Maps has on their applicationdisplays in their own Google Maps service. This is because a result of Google Maps makes use of imagery from various sources, and what is allowed to be shared on our platform is limited to imagery that Google has the right to re-distribute.rendering map content from a number of sources, including some that they are licensing from other partners. Due to licensing agreements, there are limitations to what Google can re-distribute via the API, and thus Sighten is restricted to using only Google-own imagery.
Is it possible to upload my own roof image or use another map source?
It is not yet possible to use your own image or an alternative image aside from what is available on our platform.
However. However, we are working on making this a possibility, and are now exploring other map services. We are now beggining design on integrating beginning an integration with EagleView as a top priority. This is projected to be launched for Q3.

. The ability to upload additional imagery is expected to follow EagleView launch.
