The Virtual View widget offers users a solution for exploring and visualizing imagery taken from any angle, including drone imagery, street-side imagery, 360 degree images, panoramas, video, and more.
To access this feature, click the Virtual View icon in the widget toolbar.
This will open the Virtual View widget, which will appear blank at first.
From here, users can click anywhere in the map and the widget will automatically display the image with the best view of that location.
Turn on the exposure points, symbolized by the blue dot to access other locations of where images were taken.
Click on the INSIDE map interface to go to a new exposure and to view the image.
Use the Virtual View widget to view and interact with the image itself.
Expand the widget’s pop-up by hovering over the lower right corner until the arrows appear. Left-click, drag and hold to make the pop-up bigger or smaller.
Navigation
The Navigation button in the Virtual View Widget allows users to rotate and zoom in on the image. Once the Navigation button is selected, an overview of other exposure point locations will be displayed in the bottom right of the widget.
The types of coverages are viewable by toggling between the red, blue, and green polygon icons at the top of the widget.
Red - Current Coverage: The portion of the map that is currently in the image extent.
Blue - Additional Coverage: The area of coverage available for the given exposure point.
Green - Whole Coverage: The entire area of coverage available from the exposure points.
