GlobeXplorer imagery went live recently inside the newly revamped Ask.com search engine. When viewing a map, users can choose from "Aerial" and "Mixed" (aerial plus street map) modes that deliver GlobeXplorer's industry-leading archive of international aerial and satellite imagery

"GlobeXplorer has been making high-quality imagery easily available since 1999," said Rob Shanks, GlobeXplorer's President. "Thanks to the size and resolution of GlobeXplorer's archive, Ask.com users can zoom in closer than with other popular search tools, and view the world with the sharpest and most up to date photos possible."

In addition to viewing images and maps online, users can also order larger digital files and professional-quality prints by clicking on the "Buy Print" link above the map view. Digital file download orders are delivered instantly, and can be up to 3000x2000 pixels in size, while photo prints can be ordered up to 20x30 inches on professional-grade photo paper.

"Ask.com is another example of what can be created with GlobeXplorer's ImageBuilder Cache Server API. With only basic programming knowledge, developers and webmasters can easily weave our imagery and real estate data into their online applications," said Shanks.
