Advanced Search Options

The Advanced Search Options form is designed for use by GIS professionals who wish to specify exact search criteria for searching the GeoEye Image Catalog, and receive results back in an industry standard format (including a link to the Online Maps Application). Additional functionality has been added to this section to provide users with file uploading capabilities (i.e. ESRI® shapefiles or Google Earth™ KML and KMZ files) that automatically specify the geometry of a specific Area of Interest (AOI).

Upload a File

To begin, please specify a specific file to upload and process. Uploaded files must conform to the following requirements:

1. The only file types allowed to be uploaded are: zip, kml, kmz, and gml
2. The only spatial file formats accepted are:
   1. Shapefiles (SHP): Points/Polygons
   2. Keyhole Markup Language (KML/KMZ): Polygons
   3. Geography Markup Language (GML): Polygons
3. A compressed ZIP file can contain multiple files in any of the supported formats
4. All shapefiles must be compressed in a ZIP file including the required files: SHP, SHX, DBF, and PRJ (if applicable)
5. All spatial file formats must have a valid spatial reference system (i.e. Projection Information).  If no valid spatial reference system is found, this system will default to WGS84 Geographic.
6. Thresholds allowed:
   1. Maximum Files: 500
   2. Maximum Individual Features: 500
   3. Maximum Individual Feature Area: 50,000 sqkm
   4. Maximum Individual Feature Vertices: 200
      * Note: Permalink geometry converted to bounding box at 31 vertices
