Companies typically wait until a product ships to talk about it. We’re doing the opposite.
What is Nearmap Labs?
Nearmap Labs is not a product page. There’s no gated entry and no purchase necessary. Instead, you’ll find a freely available working showcase of the research and technical exploration happening inside Nearmap right now, from early-stage experiments to the technologies already moving toward customer testing.
Before, the deep technical work powering our platform was behind closed doors until a product was ready to launch. That meant customers, partners, and the market only ever saw the finished result, while the thinking that got us there remained a secret.
Nearmap Labs changes that. Every entry gets a clear status — Technology, Early Access, Research — for easy navigation.
“Innovation doesn't begin the day a product launches, it begins years earlier through research, experimentation, and solving difficult technical problems. Nearmap Labs gives customers and the broader market visibility into the work happening behind the scenes while creating opportunities to engage with emerging technologies that will help define the future of property intelligence.”

What’s live at launch?
Nearmap Labs opens with a first wave of research and technical demonstrations pulled straight from our AI, computer vision, and geospatial analytics pipeline.
Technology
- Zero-Shot Search: Explore how models identify property conditions without task-specific training data
- Temporal Reasoning Engine: Examine how property change gets tracked and interpreted over time
Join our early access community
- Insurance Rules Mapper: Parse insurance guidelines, mapping rules and thresholds to Nearmap AI attributes for underwriting without manual configuration
- Nearmap for Autodesk: Access Nearmap imagery and surfaces inside Civil 3D with a single click with no exporting or re-referencing
- Nearmap for ArcGIS: Scope by location and date, manage users, and control access using Nearmap imagery natively in ArcGIS
Research
- Nearmap vs. GenAI Study: Compare verified geospatial data against generative AI outputs
- National Roof Age Study: Access original research drawn from Nearmap Property Intelligence data
This is the start of an ongoing cadence, not a one-time drop. Expect more releases every quarter.

Why we’re building this in the open
Buying decisions in insurance, government, and AECO stretch years. Nearmap Labs gives those decision-makers something to point to.
Nearmap CPO David Tobias explains, “Our customers don’t simply want to know what Nearmap offers today, they want confidence we’re investing in what they’ll need tomorrow. Nearmap Labs reflects our long-term commitment to advancing property intelligence through meaningful innovation grounded in real-world customer challenges.”
That’s the whole point of Nearmap Labs. Give customers, partners, and the market a detailed look at where property intelligence is headed, backed by real research and data.
