Map Tools

The map panel includes a top toolbar and bottom toolbar with various tools for interacting with the map. This page covers the standard map tools.

INFO

The exact set of buttons depends on your deployment and permissions — some tools below (such as the Magnifier and Elevation Profile) only appear when enabled for your account, and extra tools added by your organisation's modules appear on the same toolbar but are documented separately. The order below follows the toolbar from left to right.

Logo

The first item on the toolbar is your service provider's logo.

Pointer Tool

Pointer — The default tool. Click on the map to select and identify features. See Feature Selection for details on how selection works.

Magnifier

Magnifier — Activates a magnifying glass that follows your cursor, showing a zoomed-in view of the area beneath it. (Shown only when enabled for your account.)

Elevation Profile

Elevation — Draw a line on the map to see an elevation profile chart showing the terrain height along that line. (Shown only when enabled for your account.)

Measurement Tools

Measure by Line

Measure by Line — Click points on the map to measure distances. Each segment and the total distance are displayed. Double-click to finish the measurement. Click on another icon (e.g. pointer) to exit measuring.

Measure by Area

Measure by Area — Click points on the map to draw a polygon and measure its area. Double-click to close the shape and see the total area. Click on another icon (e.g. pointer) to exit measuring.

TIP

Measurements respect your unit settings (Metric or Imperial), shown in the bottom toolbar.

Reports

Reports — Open the reports dialog to run and manage pre-configured reports from your layer data. See Reports for the full workflow.

Print

Print — Open the map printing dialog to create a printable version of the current map view. See Printing Maps for page size, orientation, title, scale, and save options.

Record

Record — Record an animated sequence of the map (e.g. panning/zooming) and export it as a video file. Longer recordings take longer to export.

Export

Export — Export layer data in GIS or spreadsheet formats. The arrow next to the button opens Export Jobs. See Export Layers.

Import

Import — Import your own data as a new or existing layer. The arrow next to the button opens Import Jobs. See Import Layers.

Street View

Street View — Toggle Google Street View or a supported street-level imagery provider. When enabled, the map splits horizontally to show the street view alongside the map. Click on the map to move the street view camera.
