Who can use this feature

Owners and editors with a Professional or Pro + subscription

When working in a project, you have the option to upload vector layers (paid subscription only). Follow the steps below to incorporate your additional spatial data:

  1. Open the project

  2. Drag and drop your vector directly onto the map

    OR

  3. Click the add data button from the top menu bar

  4. Click to import vectors

  5. Browse to add, or drag and drop your vector layers into the import dialog

You will then be able to interact with these layers in your project as normal to add, edit, or delete features, and to change their symbology.

Supported file types

  1. The supported file types are GeoJSON, CSV, KML, GPX, and Esri shapefiles.

  2. A shapefile can be zipped into a single package or uploaded as a folder, but take care to include the dbf, prj, shp, and shx.

  3. It is helpful to have a field called 'name' (not case sensitive) within your imported layer

  4. Features within the layer will be attributed with the 'name' information when they appear on GeoNadir.

  5. CSV files should contain a minimum of three columns - name, latitude, longitude.

  6. CSV Coordinates should be in decimal degrees.

  7. Upload only five vector files at a time, with a combined limit of 5MB
