Are your images available on-line? Yes. We are currently offering approximately one dataset for every 10 years through our online application. How do I order your aerial photography? Please use the Aerial Photography Look Up System (APLUS). Return to top How long will it take to receive my images? Most requested are filled immediately through APLUS. For larger areas and counties request, we try to fill within 7 business days. If you would like to get the data directly, our office is open for walk-in request Monday through Friday. What is the cost of your service? Per Public Records Request Laws, no cost for reasonable request. Return to top I would like several counties. What’s the best way to request this? By using our APLUS application. Please note that large requests such as multiple years or counties may require you to provide us with a portable USB hard drive or DVD disc. Do you have any earlier dates available? Yes, please see the list of available years or contact us directly. Return to top I requested imagery in 5 year increments but only received imagery in 10 year increments. Is it possible to get more dates? Only 10 year increments are available at this time. Additional imagery and resources are available at our office: 605 Suwannee St Tallahassee, Florida 32399 Hours: 8 AM – 5 PM Do you have a list of available years of online datasets? Yes, please see the list of available years. Return to top Can I search by address? Not at this time, but we hope to have it available by the fall of 2013. Can you pull up the map by using Section/Township/Range (S/T/R)? If so, how do you do that? Yes. Use the STR button located on the right side of the "Zoom to" tool bar. After the map zooms into that section, you will need to select the Request tab to draw your area of interest. Return to top Is it possible to change the scale or size of an image? Yes. Various software applications are available to scale, resize or georeference images. For more information please see the User Guide [PDF]. Is it possible to get better resolution? Most of the online digital imagery is 1 foot resolution which is the standard for statewide orthorectified aerial photography. For larger scale aerials, please visit our office. What projection or coordinate system are your images in? For the most part, State Plane-Feet. There are some images using metric unit. It is critical to always read the metadata file for exact unit and projection information. Return to top What formats are available? The primary format is MrSid. This format is used due to the large file size of aerial photography. To change the from the MrSid format please see the User Guide[PDF]. What is MrSID format? MrSID is a unique raster file format developed by LizardTech to reduce large, high-resolution images to a fraction of their original size while maintaining near original image quality. Return to top The images I received cover too much area. May I get them cropped to cover just my area Due to limited resources, we do not typically offer this service. If your request requires a smaller cropped area, please contact Image Services. Why doesn't my image open correctly in CAD software? For MicroStation users, the workspace preferences are often not set correctly. Select Raster Manager from the Preferences dialog box. Select the Georeference tab and change the Unit Settings to "feet". Under Sister File, we usually have all items checked on. See User Guide[PDF] For AutoCAD users, you may need to load the AutoCAD Raster Design Object Enabler utility found on the Autodesk Services and Support website.
