What it is

The 2D Aerial Map (an orthomosaic) is one overhead image of your whole site, corrected so distances and areas are true, unlike a normal photo. The measuring tools live here.

When to use it

• Measuring distances (fence lines, driveways, setbacks) and areas (parcels, roofs, gravel pads).
• Marking up the site with notes and pins for your team.
• Printing a to-scale site map for the field or a report.

How to open it

1. Open your project and, if needed, pick the flight date in the scan picker.
2. Click the 2D Map tab (the map icon), usually the default view.
3. Drag to pan; scroll or pinch to zoom. The map is north-up.

Measuring

1. Open the measurement tools in the toolbar and choose Distance or Area.
2. Click point to point: keep clicking for a path, or close the shape for an area. Totals update as you go.
3. Finish or cancel from the toolbar.
4. Export your measurements as GeoJSON, KML, KMZ, or CSV.

Adding notes

Pick the annotate tool and click to drop a labeled note or marker. Notes save to the project for your team, and you can filter between everyone's and your own.

Switching layers

The layer selector switches between layers such as standard color (RGB), an elevation surface or NDVI plant health. A layer marked coming soon isn't processed for that flight yet.

Tips

• Measurements are for planning, not a licensed land survey. Exports carry that note automatically.
• Set feet or meters once in the viewer settings and every tool follows.
• For terrain shape and contours, see the elevation and volumes guide.
