GeoImage

gives a satellite image of the geo region reg.

GeoImage[reg,mapstyle]

gives an image of the geo region reg with style mapstyle.

Details and Options

GeoImage requires internet connectivity and may use external services requiring Service Credits.
In GeoImage[reg,…], the region reg can be specified as a geo entity, a geo primitive, a location or list of locations, or in general as any valid input to GeoGraphics.
GeoImage[reg,mapstyle,opts] effectively returns the background image used by GeoGraphics[reg,GeoBackgroundmapstyle,opts].
Possible forms for mapstyle include:

	Automatic	use default "Satellite" map style
	"ReliefMap"	elevation data as color with shadows
	"Satellite"	satellite imagery
	"SatelliteWithLabels"	satellite imagery with labels
	"StreetMap"	street map data
	"StreetMapLabelsOnly"	street map labels only
	"StreetMapNoLabels"	street map data omitting labels

Options of GeoImage include:

AspectRatio	Automatic	aspect ratio of the final projected image
Background	Automatic	background color outside the projected map
GeoCenter	Automatic	center coordinates to use
GeoGridRange	All	projected coordinate range to include
GeoGridRangePadding	Automatic	how much to pad the projected range
GeoModel	Automatic	model of the Earth (or other body) to use
GeoProjection	"Mercator"	projection to use
GeoRange	Automatic	geographic area range to include
GeoRangePadding	Automatic	how much to pad the geographic range
GeoResolution	Automatic	average distance between pixels
GeoServer	Automatic	specification of a tile server
GeoZoomLevel	Automatic	zoom to use for tile download
ImageSize	Automatic	image size of result
MetaInformation	{}	additional fields of metainformation
RasterSize	Automatic	raster dimensions for the underlying data

GeoImage[] gives a satellite image centered on the current geo location.
GeoImage returns an image whose MetaInformation option setting contains copyright and other information about the source of geo imagery, as well as geo tagging information.

Options (24)

AspectRatio (1)

Construct map images of the same area with different aspect ratios:

Background (1)

Specify a background color for the map image:

GeoCenter (2)

Change the default center longitude of a world map:

Extend the geo range of the US so that Dallas is at its center:

GeoGridRange (2)

Specify projected coordinate ranges in the coordinate system determined by the projection:

GeoGridRangePadding (1)

Add padding in the projected coordinate system:

Add positive padding in the horizontal direction, but negative padding in the vertical direction:

GeoModel (2)

Get a satellite image of a region of Mars:

Get a satellite image of a region of the Moon:

GeoProjection (2)

An equirectangular projection of the world map:

Use any projection for any region of the world:

GeoRange (2)

Specify any region of the world as an entity:

Specify any region as ranges in latitude and longitude:

GeoRangePadding (2)

Extend the geo range of Spain two degrees in each direction:

Extend the geo range of Spain different amounts in different directions:

GeoResolution (1)

Specify the geo resolution level of the image around a given position:

GeoServer (2)

Use tiles from the default geo server:

Use tiles from an external provider:

Limit the number of tiles that will be downloaded in a GeoImage call:

With a larger setting, the tiles will be downloaded:

GeoZoomLevel (1)

Specify the zoom level of the image around a given position:

ImageSize (1)

GeoImage automatically chooses an image size around 400 pixels in width:

Specify the image size of the result:

MetaInformation (1)

By default, GeoImage stores Exif information in the result, as well as attribution data:

Store additional metainformation:

RasterSize (3)

Specify the number of pixels of the image in the horizontal direction:

Specify maximum numbers of pixels in both dimensions:

RasterSize and ImageSize can be specified independently:

The image dimensions are determined by RasterSize, while ImageSize gives the size on the screen:
