We licensed NCTech's high resolution street-level imagery from several cities, including Los Angeles and New York. They always delivered high quality data on time, achieved comprehensive coverage and provided excellent technical support. The engineering team continues to regard the quality of their data highly as their imagery is the most consistent and hassle-free offering on the market. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Large Technology Customer (Augmented Reality)
