Navigation icons

Reference for icon-based buttons in the top bar, the right toolbar, the left menu and the property panel. Tooltips are taken from the app where they exist.

Top bar - top right

The search field and Last visited (clock icon) sit at the top left. The rest of the map buttons are grouped at the top right.

Button	Function
Zoom In (+)	Plus, zoom in, the same as scrolling up
Zoom Out (-)	Minus, zoom out, the same as scrolling down
Compass	Reset the map to north
2D	Switch to a flat 2D map
3D	Switch to 3D view
Basemap	Open the background map picker

Some button labels are still shown in English while the translation is being finished.

Background map picker (Basemap)

Basemap opens a dialog with a flat list of the available background maps: Basis, Basis Terrain, Images, Gray Tone, Gray Tone Terrain, Hybrid, Canvas, Canvas Dark, Coast, Landscape and NTV.

The same dialog has three toggles:

Toggle	Function
High Quality	Switches the background map from raster to vector for sharper text and lines. Turn it off for better performance on weak hardware
Same map in 2D/3D	Keeps the chosen background map when you switch between 2D and 3D
Cadastre Borders	Shows or hides the cadastre borders on the map

High Quality is only available for background maps that exist as vector. For pure raster maps, such as Hybrid, the toggle is unavailable.

Map layer menu (Map Layers)

Map Layers shows the active map layers and gives you access to the whole map layer catalogue through Browse layers. See Map layer for what each layer contains.

Right toolbar

Along the right edge of the map, the tools are split into three groups.

Group 1 - Selection tools

Button	Function
Pointer	Click to select a single property or building
Rectangle	Drag a rectangle and select everything inside it
Lasso	Draw a freehand shape and select everything inside it

Group 2 - Fixed tools

Button	Function
Saved places	Save and recall map positions and views
Print	Export the map as a PDF or an image
Screenshot	Save the map area as an image without panel overlays
Current location	Center the map on your current GPS position

Group 3 - 3D tools (only in 3D mode)

Button	Function
Measurement	Measure distances and areas on the map
Daylight and shadow	Visualise shadow cast and daylight conditions on facades
Elevation Profile	Draw a line to generate a terrain profile
Visibility analysis	Calculate sightlines and fields of view from a point

See Analysis for step-by-step use of the 3D tools.

The property panel covers the toolbar along the right edge when it is open. Close the panel to use the tools.

Left menu

The menu is collapsed as a narrow strip of icons. When you hold the mouse pointer over it, the names slide out.

Collapsed	Expanded, with the mouse pointer over it

Map layer	Map layer
Tags	Tags
Datasets	Datasets
Analysis	Analysis

When the window is too short to show all items, the remaining ones are collected under All features.

Property panel - top buttons

There are four buttons at the top of the property panel:

Button	Function
Focus	Center the map on the property and zoom to a suitable level
Expand	Expand or minimise the panel to full height
New tab	Open the property in a new browser tab
Close (X)	Close the property panel

Tips

• Hold the pointer over a button for half a second to see the full tooltip.
• Click the text next to an icon in the left menu to open the view, both work, but the text is a larger click area.
• You open the property panel by clicking a property on the map, not through the left menu.
• Current location is useful on a tablet when you are out on a property and want to center the map where you stand.
