FAQ on Nimbo Earth Online
What are Nimbo Online Basemaps?
Nimbo Online Basemaps are satellite map layers providing a clear view of Earth, without clouds, updated every month. Our world maps are updated every month and designed for fast integration and reliable visualization in tools like QGIS, ArcGIS, and other geospatial apps via TMS/WMTS.
How often are Nimbo basemaps updated?
Nimbo basemaps are updated every month, providing a recent and reliable view of the Earth throughout the year. This regular refresh cycle helps ensure that changes on the ground are reflected quickly, while maintaining visual consistency across updates. Monthly updates strike a balance between freshness, stability, and global coverage for production platforms.
Nimbo’s historical basemap stack goes back to 2019, meaning you can analyze multi-year trends and assess evolutions over several years.
Which data layers are available?
Each monthly basemap includes multiple layers:
RGB (natural colors), Infrared, NDVI (vegetation health), Leaf Area Index, Radar reflectance, and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM).
What is infrared satellite imagery ?
There are a lot of applications for infrared imagery based on thermal detection, especially useful to track vegetation and water presence. Nimbo Earth Online provides an infrared view of the whole world’s landmass, updated every month: a different perspective to watch land evolutions… Learn more on infrared imagery
What is NDVI and what does it tell ?
Among satellite data used for vegetation monitoring, NDVI is perhaps the most common. NDVI stands for Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, which proves essential in many fields for the information it provides on vegetation health and its evolution. Learn more on NDVI
Can I get free satellite images on Earth Online ?
Earth Online lets you access all our monthly mosaics since October 2019 through our webplatform, for free. For everyone to be able to navigate our maps, though, we have introduced a system of geocredits. When you create your free account, you are automatically provided with 2 000 geocredits, renewed every month. Learn more
What are geocredits and how do they work ?
Geocredits are a usage measure for how much you interact with the basemap streams (e.g., navigation, zoom, downloads). Every time you request a map tile (via TMS, WMS or WMTS), you spend one GeoCredit.
That’s it : 1 tile = 1 GeoCredit. Each subscription tier comes with a monthly geocredit allowance. Learn more on Nimbo Geocredits.
How can I create a Nimbo account ?
In order to create your Nimbo account, just head to our Earth Online platform, fill in the short subscription form, confirm your e-mail, then log in.
