Pan, zoom, and recenter
- Pan. Drag an empty area of the map.
- Zoom. Scroll, or click and drag horizontally on the zoom field in the bottom toolbar.
- Recenter on the site. Click Go to home in the bottom toolbar. The view snaps back to the lead's address.
Zoom is clamped to the range supported by the active satellite provider.
Switch the satellite provider
Each project picks its own provider:
- In the top toolbar, open Toolbar settings.
- Under Map source, pick Google or Mapbox.
Imagery resolution and freshness vary between providers. If a roof looks outdated on one, try the other.
Adjust map tint and marker scale
In the top toolbar, open Map tint to wash the imagery so markers stand out:
- Under Add tint, pick White or Black.
- Drag Opacity to set the strength.
To resize every marker at once, open Toolbar settings and drag Default icon size. Icon size scaling controls how markers respond to zoom:
- Fixed. Markers stay the same screen size at every zoom.
- Scale with zoom. Markers grow and shrink with the imagery.
Map levels and the legend
Each project can hold multiple map levels. Switch between them with the levels dropdown in the bottom-left.
Click Legend to open the marker key for the current level.
Snap
Snap is on by default. When you drag a marker near another marker, an edge, or a line vertex, it locks onto that point. Turn it off from the top toolbar when you need free placement.
Tips
- Tint and marker scale are saved per map level, so a tinted overview and a clean closeup can coexist in the same project.
- If imagery fails to load after switching providers, zoom out one step to force a tile refresh.
