Geospatial data on demand
How did we identify a niche in the geospatial market?
We are an innovative, aviation focused geospatial consultancy that aims to revolutionize access to information by providing high-quality data that is accurate, reliable, and relevant to the needs of our customers, introducing simplified processes, and a subscription-based model with known fixed costs.
Aerodrome Safeguarding
By leveraging strategic partnerships and cutting-edge technology, we offer unmanned aircraft-based airport lighting inspection and calibration services. Our system inspects runway, taxiway, apron, approach, and approach path lighting, with the capability to test and calibrate Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPI). This technology, which is widely adopted internationally, aligns with ICAO's comprehensive guidance, allowing us to perform inspections safely and efficiently without the need for manned flight testing.
This approach offers airports several significant advantages, including cost reduction, lower carbon emissions, and expedited defect resolution—particularly in cases where PAPIs are rendered inoperative, such as when struck by machinery.
Geospatial Services
Our interoperable multi-sensor mapping system allows us to collect high-resolution RGB and Near Infrared aerial imagery using both manned and unmanned platforms. Where drones are suitable for smaller-scale projects, aircraft surveys are ideal for large-scale projects requiring extensive coverage. Combining the capabilities of both platforms in an interoperable mapping system allows us to optimize resources, increase data collection efficiency, and capture comprehensive and accurate mapping information across a wide range of applications and scales.
We are committed to providing technological innovation, a customer-centric approach, and exceptional industry consulting.
Our vision is to revolutionize and enhance the accessibility of geospatial data, ensuring its availability to a wider audience. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality and reliable data that can be trusted for its accuracy and dependability.
Superior service and
ease of engagement
We prioritize customer satisfaction by providing exceptional service and unprecedented ease of engagement. Our user-friendly platform and responsive support ensure a seamless experience from start to finish.
Simplified data capture and delivery process
We handle the entire data capture and delivery process, relieving customers of the burden of managing complex operations. Our team ensures efficient and accurate data collection, processing, and delivery, saving valuable time and resources for our customers.
Subscription-based model with fixed costs
To eliminate pricing uncertainties, we offer a simplified subscription model. Customers have a known fixed cost for their geospatial data needs, providing budget predictability and financial transparency.

ABOUT
We are blackmaps geospatial
blackmaps is an innovative geospatial consultancy that aims to revolutionize access to information by providing high-quality data that is accurate, reliable, and relevant to the needs of our customers, introducing simplified processes, and a subscription-based model with known fixed costs.
Founded by Maksym and Bevan, industry experts in technology-driven mapping and aviation, blackmaps is poised to transform the way we obtain and interact with geospatial data.
​
The Black Maps are some of the earliest survey plans of the Canterbury Land District. By revitalizing an old name we are not just changing the surface-level appearance; we want to renew its purpose, relevance, and meaning to create a powerful connection with the digital present while honoring its historical roots.
