Imagery credits & terms
Storage Compass does not add a separate charge for viewing the aerial photos shown on a page you can access. Free to view does not mean copyright-free, open-licensed or free to download and reuse. Imagery belongs to its providers and contributors; their terms apply alongside our site terms.
Esri World Imagery
When Google satellite imagery is unavailable, aerial photos are supplied by Esri’s World Imagery service. These are third-party images, not photographs commissioned or owned by Storage Compass.
Source: Esri, Vantor, Earthstar Geographics, and the GIS User Community.
This is the source credit published in Esri’s World Imagery service metadata at the review date. Contributors, resolution and capture dates vary by location and scale. Some older images may identify Maxar, now Vantor. A general credit does not replace any additional location-specific attribution required by Esri.
Viewing and reuse
These photos provide visual context only. Do not treat them as a current site survey, proof of ownership, a planning boundary or confirmation that a facility is operating. Images may be several years old and the recorded coordinates may show an entrance or approach rather than the storage buildings.
Storage Compass does not grant permission to extract, bulk download, build an offline image archive, redistribute, resell or reuse provider imagery in reports or other products. Check the applicable provider licence and obtain any required permission before reuse. Do not remove provider credits or logos.
Google imagery
Where Google supplies satellite photos or Street View, imagery © Google and the contributors identified in the image. Google imagery is separate from Esri World Imagery and is not covered by Esri’s terms.
Licensing review
Review date: 23 October 2026. Public access to an imagery service is not, by itself, a commercial-use licence. The World Imagery item invokes the Esri Master License Agreement; Esri’s usage summary directs commercial Living Atlas application users to contact Esri about licensing. Some static promotional maps are permitted, but that does not clearly authorise this commercial, per-facility photo service.
This fallback is not cleared for launch. Written confirmation of the applicable commercial-use rights, account or licence requirements, image delivery and caching, and any location-specific credits is needed, or a suitably licensed alternative must be used. A credit line alone does not establish permission.
