Drop pins and add notes

Beyond measuring, you can mark up your site — flag a damaged fence, note where a gate should go, or grab the exact coordinates of a wellhead. There are three marking tools, and they work on both the 2D map and every 3D view.

Coordinate pin — grab an exact location

1. Click the map-pin icon in the toolbar (tooltip: Drop pin to see coordinates).
2. Click the spot you want. A pin drops and its coordinates appear right on the label — latitude/longitude on the map, or position in a 3D view.

Use this when you need to give someone an exact point to find on the ground.

Note (annotation) — flag something with text

1. Click the note icon (a message/plus icon, tooltip: Add annotation pin).
2. Click where the note belongs. A text box opens.
3. Type your note (for example, "Erosion here after last storm") and save.
4. A green marker with your text appears at that spot.

Notes are the way to communicate about a specific place. They can hold a full description, and your team can reply to them in a comment thread and mark them resolved — see Manage, share & export your measurements.

Point of Interest (POI) — a spot to show off in 3D

In the 3D views there's also a target icon (tooltip: Place Point of Interest to orbit around). Click a spot and the camera gently orbits around it — great for presenting a feature. A Stop button and a speed slider appear while it's orbiting.

Tips

• The bottom-of-screen hint always tells you what the active tool will do next.
• Undo (curved-arrow icon) removes your last placement.
• Everything you drop is listed in the results panel on the left, where you can hide, focus, or delete it.
• A note or pin you place in one view is georeferenced, so it shows up in the other views too — placed on the 3D model, it appears on the 2D map in the right spot.
• Placing a marker is a deliberate click — panning and zooming won't drop one; you have to pick the tool first.
