View your maps on a phone or tablet

Your project runs right in your phone or tablet's web browser — there's nothing to install. Open your project link and everything is touch-first from the start.

Getting around by touch

Across every view, the gestures are the same:

  1. Move around — drag with one finger.
  2. Zoompinch with two fingers.
  3. Rotate a 3D view — drag with two fingers.
  4. Reset & undo — the toolbar at the bottom stays within thumb reach, so a fresh start is always one tap away.

What the tabs look like on a phone

The view tabs shrink to compact icons with short labels (2D, 360, 3D, PtCld, Splat, Oblq, Video, Cmp), so every view fits across the top at once — no side-scrolling. Tap any one to switch.

Which views run on a phone

  • 2D Map, Ground View (360), Gaussian Splat, Flyover, and Compare all run smoothly right on your phone.
  • 3D Model and Point Cloud are the heaviest loads. On a phone, instead of rendering in the browser, these tabs offer a download link so your device doesn't run out of memory. To fly those models interactively, open the project on a laptop, desktop, or tablet.
  • Tablets (like an iPad) render the 3D Model in-browser. A large Point Cloud may still offer a download link instead — only streamed, tiled point clouds render on a tablet — so for heavy point-cloud work a laptop or desktop is best.
Best experience: For long working sessions with the 3D Model and Point Cloud — measuring, marking up, comparing flights — a laptop or desktop gives you the most room and the smoothest 3D. Your phone is perfect for a quick look, sharing, or checking a spot in the field.

Top-right controls on mobile

To keep the screen uncluttered, the top-right actions collapse to a Fullscreen button and a ⋯ (more) button. The menu holds Replay Tour, Copy view link, Share, Project Details, and Export; the Camera (screenshot) and Ask Ed buttons stay on their own. Saved Views and tips are desktop-only.

Everything stays in sync

Anything you measure or note on your phone saves to the project automatically and shows up when you open it later on any device — and the same the other way around.
