Six Maps (http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/)

Good aerial imagery of NSW. Searchable too.

It's a good site we use it all the time at work. We used to use nearmap before they started charging us for it. There was no way the govt was going to pay for it when they had their own services through the lands department.

Six maps has got better in the last 12 months with the maps and images being updated more frequently.

Nearmap is awesome, pity they want min $100/m to use it now. I keep emailing them asking them for a home user license, $10/m or something.

Same here, Nearmaps was good while it lasted. Especially the different days slide.

Yeah the aerial photos that are available on six maps are nowhere near as high a quality image available on nearmap.

A basic package with nearmap is approx $6500 for a 12 month subscription. It goes up from there to about $40,000.00 for twelve months subscription. That does give you access to all of Australia for that price. Way too much for small businesses.

D4D I have asked them for a home user subscription as well but they don't seem too interested.
