Exploring the Map

move around the map navigate the map by clicking and dragging with your mouse the toolbar on the bottom center of the screen will include these functions within the map, you can zoom in and out to focus on areas of interest re orient the screen on windows, hold down the right mouse button and drag to rotate the view on mac, use control click (or a two finger click on a trackpad) and drag to reset the view, click the reset orientation icon go full screen for a larger view view the entire project extent in one click measure distances and areas directly on the map use the point inspection tool to explore detailed information about a specific location (see what's on the map? below for more information) map controls map controls includes all of the different visualizations of map views and the visibility of different features basemap & 3d change the base map style and enable 3d terrain visualization openinframap view toggle infrastructure layers such as power, telecom, oil & gas, and water layer visibility show or hide map elements like points, lines, polygons, comments, and results heatmaps adjust heatmap visualization settings such as opacity, density, intensity, and radius understanding the data open the project layers panel to manage your project's gis data most of this data is provided by our customer success team, but you also have the option to docid\ n qajovpe3tc2ksqo zkq gis data is what optioneer uses to design potential routes (e g , conservation areas, existing infrastructure) this data is static and cannot be modified within the project we group gis data into two categories vector represents real world objects such as buildings, roads, and zoning boundaries raster represents continuous data such as elevation, slope or bathymetry collections represents selected data from the project layers to be used in configurations for more detailed control—including adding, editing, and refining project features—use the network features and create options tabs learn more docid\ mjagkoskoam1osif ftip ℹ️ note we'll dive deeper into your project's data in docid\ dlbxkykryhmsvsdio1nb —so stick around! visualize your data another way to explore your project’s geospatial data is through the vector data panel click the drop down arrow to the right of vector data to view a full list of datasets by default, these are displayed alphabetically by data source , but you can also search and sort datasets in other ways click the icon to the left of a dataset to display the entire dataset on the map to display a specific layer within a dataset, open the dataset's drop down and click the icon for the layer of interest use the icon to the right of any layer to view additional, layer specific information customize your data you can tailor how gis datasets appear and are used in optioneer adjust symbology click the coloured circle to the right of a layer to open symbology options change the colour, opacity, fill, and outline to match your organisation's standards save your customised symbology with a docid 0qonlnws6wmlv13iyfq3a ⚠️ note this is currently the only way to preserve symbology if you don't save it, your symbology will reset to the default the next time you exit optioneer organise datasets use the group by feature to change how your datasets are listed we'll cover the different grouping options in more detail later what's on the map? click anywhere within your map extent to bring up the point inspection tool (pit) a icon will appear at the selected location, along with a window showing more information about any results , project features , and gis data layers present at that point you can also access the pit directly from the bottom left corner of your screen
