Ever zoomed into a spot on satellite and thought "I can't see a thing through that blur"? We've all been there. Different satellite providers capture imagery at different times, different resolutions, and different conditions. What looks like a green smudge on one provider might show you clear ground, old tracks, and disturbed earth on another.
That's why we've just added Google Satellite as a second imagery option alongside our existing Mapbox satellite. You can now switch between the two with a single tap right in the layer controls.
Why does this matter? Because when you're trying to read the ground before you drive three hours into the bush, every bit of clarity counts. Some areas Google has sharper, more recent imagery. Other areas Mapbox wins. Now you don't have to pick. Check both, find the one that shows you what you need, and layer it under your LiDAR terrain to plan your next dig.
Google Satellite is available now on the Fossicker and Digger plans. If you're still on the free plan, this is a good reason to upgrade. Combined with our 1m LiDAR terrain, drill hole assays, and prospectivity pins, you've got more data at your fingertips than most exploration companies had ten years ago.
Jump on the map and try it out. Toggle satellite on, then switch between Mapbox and Google. You'll be surprised how different the same paddock can look.
