The online map represents ASPRS' best effort at determining current State licensing requirements for photogrammetry and related remote sensing services. This map is not a definitive interpretation of State laws or requirements. It is intended as a resource to assist photogrammetric mapping and remote sensing professionals in determining specific State requirements.
