What's New – Detailed land cover map for all of Great Britain

Dec 11, 2024

Using advanced AI methods and high-resolution imagery Scalgo has produced a detailed land cover map for all of Great Britain. The map is now available for all Scalgo Live users. For more details about how this map was produced and how to use it, we refer to the accompanying blog post.

A detailed landcover map is now available for England, Wales and Scotland.

The Scalgo Land Cover map distinguishes between 11 classes in 25 cm resolution. To produce nationwide maps, we rely on high-quality aerial imagery. In Great Britain, we partner with Bluesky International, to get access to the 12,5 cm imagery available via the Geospatial Commission's Aerial Photography of Great Britain (APGB) contract. 

Alongside the detailed land cover map available in Scalgo Live, you’ll also gain access to the high-quality imagery available via APGB inside Scalgo Live. Before diving into this exciting new data, we want to ensure you’re informed about data access and any potential fees, please see the accompanying blog post for details.
