Enhanced PASDA Service: The Pennsylvania Imagery Navigator

The Pennsylvania Imagery Navigator was developed to provide easier access to imagery and raster data such as topographic maps.The Navigator still maintains all the functions of the Imagery Viewer and Download Utility. Note: To access the previous Imagery Viewer and Download Utility, click here. However, the enhanced Navigator allows users to print the map image, identify and download multiple tiles for an area of interest, and new options for specifying area of interest.


The enhanced Imagery Navigator will increase ease of access to all imagery and raster data from a diversity of providers through a single interface. The data available include imagery and raster data from the PAMAP program, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, the USDA, and the USGS, as well as specialized imagery from PEMA and the NGA.
