Good job! You've set up your Birdi account, and now you're ready to create your first map.

Depending on how you like to operate, you can either create your maps, set your locations, folders and KML annotations then go and do all of your capture of the relevant sites/locations, or you can set up your maps after you've captured your data. The steps will be the same.

Create a map

To get started ensure you are logged into the platform and navigate to the main dashboard. You will still see all your Original Birdi maps here, and all your Birdi 2.0 Maps will show along the top of your dashboard.

  • This will open a new, blank map. From here, you can zoom to your area of interest using your mouse or keyboard, and start working on your project!

    • Search for an address or location in the search bar to navigate to your area of interest (Read more here)

    • Click 'details' to change the map name

    • Use the annotation tools to create annotations or markers in your area of interest

    • Upload your media from the Layers panel.

  • When you upload a set of media, it will create a new folder which you can rename, otherwise you can start making folders and add your media and layers to these once uploaded.
