Note: Any government entity (national, state or local) MUST purchase a licence to use our PhotoMaps.

WMS Service

NearMap supports the WMS (Web Map Server) service protocol, which is often used by GIS and CAD applications. Our WMS service is available to Paid Commercial Licence users, and to Free Commercial Licence users who have paid the $5,500 (excluding taxes) yearly WMS service access fee.

If you are using NearMap’s PhotoMaps under the Free Commercial Licence, and wish to gain access to our WMS service, please fill in this application form and send it to us along with your Purchase Order.

If you do not wish to pay for access to the WMS Service, you can use the free access protocols and methods instead:

  • Online map browser access, which can also be embedded into your own web pages
  • Using an application that supports the TMS (Tile Map Server) protocol, which is a highly efficient tile based protocol. More information is available in the integration documentation.
  • Using the free HyperTiles program to download areas for offline use
