I am forbidden to disclose the location or the Elco at this time. Rules. I don't make them.
What brought the idea to mind is a neighboring county has public GIS data showing utility pole locations, and it was created last year. The description on the data set says it was created using aerial photography. I don't know if that means they had somebody sit there and click a button on every pole, or if they had some kind of tool that did it automatically. There are also other utilities who are fussy about sharing data or who don't have it, as you mentioned. It would just be convenient to have a fallback method for high level planning. It wouldn't have to be perfect. It would just have to be good enough to estimate how much is aerial vs underground, how much is backyard poles vs street side poles, etc. If I do find something, I'll certainly share. I'm a team player. -Adam ________________________________ From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> on behalf of Cameron Crum <cc...@murcevilo.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2025 11:32 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] AI Image tools They probably don't have gps on every pole.

I've got an Elco that won't share GIS data on their poles, but I did find aerial imagery of the whole area with 3" resolution. -Adam -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
