BMOS enhancements based on user-feedback
Products will be easier to find and to order;
Searching using “normal” street addresses will be available;
Air photos are available in digital format – the original film will be scanned at high resolution (~2000 DPI) on a mapping-quality scanner;
Orthophotos may be ordered in a MrSID format with the benefit that they will be delivered as a much smaller file;
BMOS supports both Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3 ;
Map navigation tools have been moved directly over the map image for clarity.
We are currently resolving technical problems which prevent the display of air photos from 2008 to 2010 within the Base Map Online Store. In the meantime, we are able to provide the following viewer which includes all air photos acquired from 2000 to the present. Where available, the reduced-resolution images presented in this viewer may be freely viewed, downloaded and printed, although the full copyright remains with the Province of British Columbia. To order full-resolution airphotos from 2008, 2009 or 2010, note the roll and frame numbers of the photos in which you are interested and order them using the optional text-input box in the Base Map Online Store Air Photo order screen and use the 'Add Directly to Cart' button.
