Nearmap 2022


Recommended Posts

Nearmap hasn't done much on the gold coast this year - a few of their planned flights were changed to cover the flooded areas in February, then down in NSW, and then back up in SEQ, but they did have a day to cover Dreamworld. Dated 20 April 2022.

Not much different, but the boneyard has a few things of interest:

Looks like some log flume boats, the diesel shunting locomotive on some tracks, and a few other things on tracks that I don't think are the original carriages. 

 

I suspect the rest of the gold coast will update shortly so will update here as they come available.

No I don't believe so (and I think a few jokers might have some fun if they knew which day it would be) but I have alerts set up so I get an email when they update the maps - usually 2-6 weeks after the flight.

They did email earlier in the year though to tell users that flood-specific maps would be uploaded, but as that was a special circumstance, it's a bit different to the normal flyovers.

They have several aircraft such as Cessna 210s, Cessna 310s, Cessna 404s and Vulcanair 68, but they don't make a secret of it if you know what to look for -

One of their Cessna 210s a few years ago had tail number VH-MIQ, for example - so you can find them, and then you can track them (more or less - but I can't confirm whether this aircraft is still in their fleet today)

 

The next time you see an aircraft flying a grid pattern, get the tail number and then google the registered owner.

@Gazza's Nearmap updates of Victoria prompted me to check out the GC and there have been a few updates - so here's a bit of an image dump:

Marvin ride construction zone (Oct 26):

Not exactly theme park but the below is up behind the studios \ outback on the road to Paradise Country. This paddock was used a few years ago for the Asgard set for one of the Thor movies. The 'parking area' wasn't there a year ago and was a greenfields site, but the several rows of items around the edge of the boundary fence are new since august. I've no idea what they are (I assume they're production set pieces for filming), they aren't all the same shape or size, but I can't get any better read on what it is without visiting on site... anyone have any ideas?

Leviathan and Trident sites - this image is directly overhead and shows some of the pathways \ thoroughfares in and around Atlantis.

Former Arkham \ Future Wizard of Oz land

Didn't have a lot of time to explore so that's it for this update, but if I find anymore major changes i'll be sure to update...

Is that Surfriders car sitting in MWs backlot? 👀

Also part of the ride vehicle for Surf Rider in storage.

Yeah - i've noted it before, but it's been there a while at this point so not really anything worth writing about... If it's still there now, then it's officially been there for more than a year (it wasn't there in August 2021)

Hey guys, just a bit of an FYI.... I know that Nearmap is a paid for subscription these days (used to have a free version several years ago), though through my research have found that Vexcel Viewer now offers free access to their maps also (via creating a free account). 

I am not sure how good/detailed/up-to-date the aerials are vs nearmap, though it seems better than google in most cases and can zoom in closer. The viewer also has incorporated tools so can measure distances between areas etc.

Definitely worth checking out - https://anz-viewer.vexcelgroup.com

Love to get peoples thoughts on this viewer :)
