Navigating the map

Select Zoom to all to display all datasets and sites currently listed in the Drive panel.

To locate a resource, select its marker on the map or search for it using the Search field. The map centers on the resource and highlights it in the Drive panel.

Resource positioning

Datasets are positioned using the geographic center of their georeferenced outputs.
Sites are positioned using the geographic center of the most recently added dataset in the site.

Datasets and sites without geolocation cannot be displayed on the map but remain available in the Drive panel.

Information: Datasets and sites stored in closed folders are not displayed on the map. Open the folder to display its contents.

Drive content

Dataset: Represents data collected at a specific location and time.
Site: Groups datasets acquired at the same location over different time periods. Available with PIX4Dcloud Pro and above.
Folder: Organizes datasets and sites and can contain other folders.
