Online GIS viewer

Every result a project produced opens in the browser. The viewer is an online GIS for your own survey data, so you can load layers, measure on them and share the result without installing desktop GIS software or hunting for plugins.

The viewer has two modes, switched at the top: 2D map and 3D point cloud. Underneath sit four tabs, Measurements, Outputs, Modules and Sharing, and the header carries the project's expiry countdown and the Share button.

What the viewer gives you​

  • Map layers. Switch between the orthomosaic, elevation models, NDVI and thermal, with basemap, opacity and crop controls.
  • Measurements. Distance, area, volume, height, pin points, lasso clip and temperature readings.
  • Point cloud viewer. Orbit, pan and zoom through the 3D reconstruction, with appearance settings you can tune.
  • Post-processing modules. Run specialised analysis on compatible project outputs, including automated solar panel inspection.

Downloads​

Outputs tab showing orthomosaic, DSM, DTM and point cloud cards with size, GSD, CRS and download buttons

The Outputs tab lists everything the project produced, and tells you exactly what you are getting before you click download:

  • The format badge, GeoTIFF or LAZ, and the generation date.
  • File size of each asset.
  • GSD in cm per pixel for the orthomosaic.
  • CRS, the coordinate reference system the raster is written in, for example EPSG:32634.
  • Covered area in hectares.
  • Elevation range and its colour ramp for the DSM and DTM.
  • Point count for the point cloud.

Two buttons sit above the list:

  • Download all packages every output into one file.
  • Coverage polygon exports the outline of the processed area.

Choose a coordinate system for export​

The coordinate system selector sits at the top of the Outputs tab. By default, Original coordinate system is selected, so each file is downloaded in the coordinate system used for the processed project.

Coordinate system selector in the MapperTool Outputs tab with Original coordinate system selected

Changing this setting creates an exported copy in the selected coordinate reference system. It does not change the project, its map layers or the original output files.

Searchable export coordinate system menu with global and local EPSG coordinate systems

Open the selector to browse the available coordinate systems. You can search by EPSG code, system name or region. The list includes global coordinate systems and compatible local systems for the project's location.

  1. Open Outputs in the project viewer.
  2. Select Original coordinate system, or search for another CRS.
  3. Click the download button on an output card, or use Download all.

The selected system applies to raster outputs such as the orthomosaic, DSM, DTM, NDVI and thermal map, as well as the 3D point cloud.

Conversion before download​

When you select a different coordinate system, MapperTool converts the chosen output before downloading it. This preparation can take up to one minute, depending on the file and project size. The download starts in the selected coordinate system as soon as the converted file is ready.
