I was in Hobart on Saturday and noticed a light aircraft doing fairly steep turns over the city.  Wondered what he was up to so flicked on FlightRadar24 and was quite surprised when I saw his track.

 

Almost looks like he's flying over all the roads in the CBD - same angles.  Privately owned C182 RG.  Any guesses as to what he'd be up to?

 

PS don't say "cropdusting"...

Nearmap is a private system with high definition virtually down to the ground. Its used by Councils to check those illegal building jobs etc.

How could WE do without Vigilant Shy Cancels spending our ever increasingly large. rate money instead of doing things like removing dangerous tree branches overhanging roads and Power lines. Getting rid of BLACKBERRIES weeds. etc
