  offer the most detailed imagery at the most
  effective price
• A project was put in place in March to capture
  approximately 125,000 sq km of imagery
• Anticipated completion in 2007

• Highly developed municipalities currently on a
  three year update cycle
• Rural municipalities looking at 5 year update
  intervals
• Need to work with others to identify and
  communicate projects
• Need to consider products leaf on/off, DEM,
  resolution, licencing etc.
