Compass Control
The compass control allows easy navigation through the various orientations of imagery.
...
Compass Control: 2D Mode
When viewing 2D (ortho) imagery, you can rotate to have any direction shown at the top of the map. The compass rotates to indicate which direction you’re looking.
...
Compass Control: 3D Mode
To view 3D (oblique/oriented imagery), select the 3D option on the compass control. Note that this option will be unavailable if you’re viewing a collection that doesn’t have 3D imagery, or if you’re too zoomed out.
...
You can view any available orientation of imagery by selecting that orientation on the compass control. The compass rotates along with the image to indicate which direction you’re looking.
...
To switch back to 2D (ortho) imagery, simply select the 2D button on the compass. You will return to 2D imagery with north automatically facing up.
Color Infrared (CIR) Toggle
The Color Infrared (CIR) imagery toggle is located to the left of the compass control and allows you to view color infrared orthomosaic imagery (in 2D mode) or the color infrared vertical image (in 3D mode).
...
The toggle will be available for collections with CIR imagery. Hover over the CIR button to expand the toggle, and switch it on to access the CIR imagery.
...
To return to regular RGB imagery, simply switch the CIR toggle off.
Timeline
The timeline allows you to easily view the different collections of imagery available in a given location.
...
Blue Sky vs. Gray Sky collections: Blue Sky collections are represented with a blue circle. Gray Sky collections are represented with a gray storm cloud.
2D collection vs. 3D collections: The 2D and 3D designations on the timeline stops indicate whether the given collection is 2D only or whether it’s a collection that includes 3D.
Collection date: The collection year is shown over the first collection in the given year. The full date for any collection can be seen by hovering over it or clicking on it to select it.
Currently visible collection: The white arrow indicates which collection is currently selected/visible on the map.
Timeline: 2D Mode
In 2D mode, the timeline shows all available collections at the location. Please note: datasets that only contain 2D images, such as Wide Area collections, will only show on the timeline when you are in in 2D mode. The stops on the timeline are spaced based on the time between collections.
...
To use the timeline slider in 2D mode, ensure you have 2D mode selected on the compass control.
Timeline: 3D Mode
In 3D mode, the timeline shows all sets of imagery for which 3D imagery is available. Note that 2D only collections are unavailable in this mode.
...
To use the timeline in 3D mode, ensure you have 3D mode selected on the compass control.
Timeline Filter
The timeline filter allows advanced filtering of collections. This is useful for isolating collections that meet a specific set of characteristics. Click on the timeline filter to open it.
...
Collections that don’t match the criteria will be hidden from the map and will be grayed out on the timeline.
