Map Layers Panel

The Map Layers panel provides a mechanism to switch individual map layers on and off. You can also change the map background.

To access the Map Layers panel, click on the Map Layers button in the top right corner of the map. The Map Layers panel will appear and show the various layer groups that have been configured for your organization.

 

 

 

 

Map Layers and Background

You can change the background displayed between Road, Aerial, Gray or Night by clicking on the appropriate button at the top of the layers panel. Note some customers have additional backgrounds available, these will be displayed in addition to the standard backgrounds

You will see a list of the layer groups in your configuration. You can click the arrow to the left the the name to show a list of all layers in that group. Simply click the check box left of a layer’s name to switch that layer on or off.

If you see a plus icon to the right of a layer (e.g. Lightning in the screenshot to the right), this indicates that you can switch individual items in the layer on or off. To switch individual items in a layer on or off, click the plus icon and then switch items on or off as desired.

To show the legend for a layer group, you can just click the little i icon on the right side.

If you have switched all various items on or off and just want to get back to the default way things are displayed, just click that “Reset” button at the top right.

If you’d like the background and layers that you’ve selected to automatically be set the same way next time you log in to Indji Watch, just select the “Remember Settings” check box.

Regarding the Aerial background, it's important to note that the availability of imagery varies for different locations. While you can expect high resolution, recent imagery in metropolitan areas, rural areas may only have medium or low resolution imagery available. When you have the aerial background on, you can actually see when the imagery was captured, we show that information at the bottom left of the map.

To close the Map Layers panel, simply click on the close button in the top right corner of the panel.
