It provides a detailed view of a particular area, making it easier to identify features such as roads, buildings and vegetation
It provides a 3-dimensional perspective, making it easier to understand topography and relief of an area
What is an orthophoto map?

A map produced from a satellite image that has not been geometrically corrected
A map produced from a ground survey that has not been geometrically corrected
