Map View - PIX4Dcloud

Overview of the Map View

The PIX4Dcloud Map View is a dashboard that displays datasets and sites geolocated on an interactive map. It provides a spatial overview of projects and enables quick navigation based on location.

Map View is the default view when accessing PIX4Dcloud. Users can also switch to alternative display modes:

• Thumbnail view

• List view

Content displayed on the map

The map displays:

• Datasets and sites located at the root level of the Drive.

The map does not display:

• Datasets and sites located inside closed folders.

To display datasets or sites stored in a folder, the folder must be opened using Open. All datasets, sites, and folders are always listed in the Drive panel on the left side of the interface, regardless of their visibility on the map.

Navigating to a dataset or a site

There are two ways to locate and open a dataset or site from the Map View:

Option 1 – From the map

1. Locate the dataset or site marker on the map.
2. Select the marker. The corresponding item is highlighted in the Drive panel.
3. Open the dataset or site from the Drive panel.

Option 2 – Using search

1. Use the search field in the top-right corner.

2. Select the dataset or site from the search results.
