About the Map Library
Birdi is proud to unveil its new map interface, which brings a range of specialized maps into a single, intuitive platform. These maps are designed to provide detailed information for different terrains, landscapes, and specific applications, enhancing users' ability to navigate and understand various geographical and environmental features.
We have a range of maps and our collection is continually growing. These range from Global geophysical maps such as land cover, ocean contours and topography, to national level forest maps such as USGS Topography and Forest Types of Australia. We also have state level maps for our Australian users ranging from aerial imagery, lot boundaries and crown lands, useful for planning and construction users.
How to add and use the Map Library Layers
The following images provide step-by-step instructions on how to add new map layers.
Step 1: Open your map and select + Add layer form the Layers panel.
Step 2: From the dropdown menu, select Add from map library.
Step 3: The map library will then pop up on your screen (you might need to make sure pop ups are allowed in your browser).
You can sort, search and check details of the available map layers from the map library.
Step 4: Once you have chosen your desired layer, click + Add selected to load the basemap.
You may need to wait a moment for the layer to render. Once it is loaded, you can select the layer from the Layers panel to open the inspector.
From the inspector, you can toggle across to see the map details, such as the sourse, change the opacity of the map, and view the Legend data - such as below.
You can add multiple layers from the map library to your project, and rearrange these to suit your needs.
