• Click here (French) if you encounter visualization problems.

Orthophoto of Gers

General Context:

The CCI of Gers, with nine other partners from Gers, acquired in 1993 a BD ORTHO IGN server licence. This license resulted in the acquisition of aerial shots taken in 1999. In all, it was this act that began the first steps for creating a Geographical Database (a project of spatial data mutualisation in the Gers).

In addition, the BD ORTHO IGN - PVA 99 served as the base for cadastre digitization. However the PVA 99 soon became obsolete, leading to the assessment that it was time to acquire a new orthophotoplan.

The CCI of Gers, member and representative of a partnership of 10 public and private entities from Gers, wished to acquire an updated (PVA 2004 or 2005) orthophotoplan of the department of Gers.

Orthophoto of Gers 2006 is now available to all partners of the consortium on 10. So as to adapt to the demands and needs of each partner, the orthophoto was delivered in different formats and with different projections.
