Interacting with the map data

The SiteRecon map gives you various options to interact with it and the associated data. You can adjust the layers on the map to get the best possible view and dynamically access your map's intricacies using this full-blown navigation feature.

1. Layer styling

Since a property map has multiple layers, it may be challenging to distinguish the suitable layer. SiteRecon allows you to select and stylize a layer to make it stand out. Here's how to do it.

1. Select the layer you want to style from the layer panel by left-clicking it once. This action will open a styling pop-up, as illustrated in the image below, where you can customize the layer’s appearance.

⁠

2. You can expand or contract the pop-up using the drop-down arrow. Click the dropdown arrow to expand the Layer styling menu in this pop-up.

Select your layer's most recently used style from the “Style Options.”

⁠

3. Adjust the Stroke Color or Fill Color as per your choice. The shade you will pick in the pop-up will reflect on the map simultaneously.

⁠

4. You can adjust the colors, opacity, and stroke size for both the “Fill” and “Stroke” options

⁠

3. Toggle between the Show vertices option to view the vertices of the layer parcel

⁠

2. Hiding/showing layers

Click the checkbox against a layer to hide/show it on the property map. Refer to the images below.

3. Interacting with maps and layers

Real-time interaction between the maps and layers makes it easier for you to locate it right. It also helps you identify the IDs on the go.

If you select a layer ID from the layer panel, the corresponding area will get highlighted on the property map simultaneously. Also, if you just hover the pointer (using either the mouse or the touchpad) over layer ID from the layer panel, it will get highlighted on the map screen, too. Refer to the picture below.

⁠

The above pointer holds in a vice-versa scenario, too, except for the hovering part – if you click on any layer IDs on the map screen, it will get highlighted in the layer panel.

4. Finding estimates for your clients

Select the IDs in a feature layer to find the total sum of their measurements. You can use this sum to calculate the forecast for your prospect.

If you charge your service based on area, multiply the sum by the service cost per square foot.

You can also estimate the time to complete a service in your area. Find the reciprocal of the expected production rate and multiply it by the total area. Or divide the area for service by production rate.

Select the features for the ID column to add their measurements. Select all the features from the ID column by clicking the layer checkbox to see the total measurements.

5. Navigating map

You can navigate your property map using your touchpad or your mouse. You can also switch the views of your property by choosing the given options.

5.1. Navigating with your mouse

Hold the left click of your mouse and drag it on the map screen to move. Release the click once you have arranged the map well. Right-click on any surface will give you its coordinate value.

5.2. Navigating with the touchpad

Hold the left click of your laptop's touchpad and drag it on the map screen to move. Release the click once you have arranged the map well. Right-click on any surface will give you its coordinate value.

5.3. Street/Satellite view

You can choose the view–street or satellite–depending upon your need in a single click.

⁠

Toggle between the views by clicking any options highlighted in the yellow box above.

5.4. Zoom in/out

Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in or zoom out.

If you are not using a mouse, you can place two fingers on the touchpad and slide vertically. You can also perform the zooming action by pinching in and stretching out with two fingers on the touchpad.

5.5. Rotate

Press alt/option + shift together, then drag the screen clockwise or anti-clockwise to rotate the map. Click on the compass to realign north.
