Drop pins and add notes

Mark up your site: flag a damaged fence, note where a gate should go, or grab a wellhead's exact coordinates. The three marking tools work on the 2D map and in every 3D view.

Coordinate pin — an exact location

1. Click the map-pin icon (tooltip: Drop pin to see coordinates).
2. Click the spot. The pin's label shows its coordinates: latitude and longitude on the map, or a position in 3D.

Use it to give someone a point to find on the ground.

Note (annotation) — flag something with text

1. Click the note icon (tooltip: Add annotation pin).
2. Click where the note belongs, type it, for example "Erosion here after last storm", and save.
3. A green marker with your text appears there.

Your team can reply in a note's comment thread and mark it resolved. See Manage, share & export your measurements.

Point of Interest (POI) — orbit a spot in 3D

In 3D, the target icon (tooltip: Place Point of Interest to orbit around) sets a spot for the camera to orbit. A Stop button and a speed slider appear while it orbits.

Tips

• The hint at the bottom of the screen says what the active tool will do next.
• Undo (curved-arrow icon) removes your last placement.
• The results panel on the left lists everything you drop, to hide, focus on or delete.
• Pins and notes are georeferenced: one placed on the 3D model appears in the right spot on the 2D map.
• Panning and zooming never drop a marker. You pick the tool first.
