Esri Launches World Cup Imagery Site For AP

Redlands-based Esri, the developer of geographical information systems (GIS) software, has applied its tools to the World Cup, with a new "Story Map" of high resolution satellite imagery of the 12 World Cup venues. According to Esri, it has linked with satellite imaging provider DigitalGlobe on a new Story Map which shows high resolutions images of those 12 venues for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia--apparently, the very first time those images of those venues have been made available. The Story Map is being shown exclusively by The Associated Press in their coverage of the games.
