There is a green menu on the lefthand side when you log in. This has four pages:

When you first create an account on GeoNadir, you are creating a free 'Essentials' account or workspace. This gives you access to upload datasets with up to 500 images, and you can create a single project to start to analyse your data.

Our free account is designed for you to test out GeoNadir first, ore a cost effective space to learn while you are just getting started.

You will see certain features have a crown next to them - these are features available in the paid plans.

More features and larger limits are available on our Professional and Pro + plans. Head to the management page and billing tab to upgrade.

You will be prompted to create a project when you first create an account.

Projects are where you have access to the data analysis tools and invite other people in to view, comment, and collaborate with.

Projects can contain as many drone datasets as you like, and we recommend your projects are organised around a common theme or location.

You can upload your drone mapping data and we will process the raw images into an orthomosaic.

If you have uploaded it inside a project, then it will appear in the project and also in 'Datasets' once processed. If you have uploaded it from the 'Datasets' tab, then it will appear in 'Datasets' only. You can add it to one or more projects at any time.

You can choose to keep your datasets private, or share them publicly to the global map for others to view and use. You can change this setting for a dataset at anytime.

You might have lots of questions about uploading drone mapping data. These questions are likely answered here.

Data on the FAIR global map is data that users have made publicly available for others to freely use. You can choose to make your data available for others if you like, or keep it private.

You can add data from the FAIR global map to a project by either search the map like this or adding data as suggested inside your project area like this.

The base map is what sits behind the orthomosaics. This can be either a satellite image, a map background, or no background at all.

The satellite image can be useful to compare what was there before the drone imagery was taken. We don't have any control over the date of capture of the satellite base imagery.

Learn how to change between the base maps here.

Adding oblique photos to your project can hep to provide further context to your site. Whilst the 2D, top-down view of the orthomosaic provides the ability to analyze the site in detail, sometimes an oblique photo of the site or a particular item on the site can help.

For example, building inspections might call for an oblique photo of a faulty air conditioning unit, or a construction site might need a site photo showing the facade of a building.

You can do this with our Photos as points feature. Learn more here.

You can analyse your own drone mapping data, some data from the FAIR Global map, or even just the satellite base map!

We have tools to ...

Inviting in others to view, comment on, or collaboratively edit your projects is a core part of GeoNadir.

You can invite an unlimited number of people in to view and comment on your projects, no matter what subscription you are on. This is an easy way to share your orthomosaics and analysis with others.

Inviting in editors is part of a paid subscription. Editors can upload drone mapping data to your project and workspace, they can also have full access to the analysis tools. This is great for teams who want to collaborate across data capture through to analysis and insights!

A workspace simplifies collaboration within teams and stakeholders. When you create your account, this is a workspace!

When you upgrade your account, then it provides you with not only additional features, but also the ability to invite others into your workspace. They do not have to have a paid account, as you are inviting them into yours! You have full control over access levels for the people you invite in.

Workspaces are really where the magic happens, because we most often map to share our drone data and insights with others. Workspaces allow this to happen.

As you start to create your polygons in your project, there are some default settings applied. But you can make this map suit your needs with the following tools:

Vectors are points, lines, polygons, and text that you add as a layer to help you interpret or annotate within a project.

Think of these like additional information that sits over the top of your drone map data that helps you tell the story.

You can import vectors and there are a number of file types we support. Click here to learn more. You can also export vectors from projects once you have created them. Click here to learn more.

You can use our tile mapping service link to stream your data to a GIS. Click here to learn more. Or you can also download the geotiff files for your orthomosaics, DSM, and DTMs as well. Click here to learn more.
