Who is it for

Built for broadcast graphics platforms

Deliver a visually flawless, globally consistent basemap + terrain stack that production teams can trust in a zero-tolerance-for-failure environment

Product manager

You own the data layer that teams depend on every day and you need data that looks pristine on-air – without manual cleanup.

The problem

What breaks on air

On-air incidents, reputational risk, and engineering time lost normalising multiple vendors.

Many artefacts

Cloud artefacts, tile seams, and inconsistent colour grading break the illusion on air 

Stale imagery

“Live” graphics built on stale imagery because providers update too slowly 

Data discrepancy

Data from different sources do not match visually, making 3D visuals look off 

The consequence : On-air incidents, reputational risk, and hours of engineering time lost normalising multiple vendors — resources that should be building better products, not firefighting data. 

The solution

One coherent visual stack, built for broadcast

Nimbo Online Basemaps is a monthly-produced, cloud-free global basemap designed for predictable platform integration and consistent visuals worldwide. Add Nimbo HD (2.5m) when you need quality close-ups, and Nimbo Terrain for a matched elevation layer so your 2D maps and 3D globe share the same visual language

Key benefits

Why broadcast teams choose Nimbo

Platform standardization

One visual baseline across products, shows, and clients

Lower integration cost

Fewer vendors and fewer special cases to maintain

Predictable quality tiers

Standard layer for global coverage, HD tier for close‑ups

Operational reliability

Reduce on‑air risk from patchy mosaics, seams, and mismatched terrain

Governance ready

Traceability and confidence layers to support QA and internal review

How it works

Quick integration, smooth workflows

Nimbo connects easily to existing platforms through standard TMS and WMTS services, making integration quick and smooth. Add the service, set your preferences, and your basemaps are ready to stream inside your tools.
