The Emergency Response Committee of GITA (www.gita.org) is working on this. I have
seen presentations by ESRI, whose client software (ArcView) is free and will
subsidize some purchases by non-profits through an in-house grant program, and
Pictometry, a company that takes oblique digital aerial photos and can provide
the service results either through a county that bought the service or has a
Beta web based version for about $80/month for 5 users, 1 at a time. Our county uses both ESRI and Pictometry
(there is a bridge software package that allows you to combine them) with the
data on an external drive of 600 Gig. Pictures are taken in the fall about
every two years. As to layering and marking pictures Corel
used to have a package that allowed you to use the picture as a map (base
layer) and then add layers on top, but it was not automatic input, you had to
key in the waypoints. As this package was an art production package
originally I would expect that similar photo markup software exists in the
graphic arts world and is probably cheaper and easier to run than Photoshop. Irv Lichtenstein From:

photos. Are there better software packages you are using that are
reasonable in price? Lois |
