The Split Screen View in Birdi Map 2.0 lets you compare two layers side‑by‑side with a draggable slider—perfect for spotting change between surveys, processing outputs, or different capture dates. This feature is available on the Ultimate Plan only.
Opening the Split Screen View
On the map, go to the view buttons at the bottom centre.
Click Split Screen to enter the view.
To exit Split Screen, switch to 2D, 3D, or Media view.
Selecting Layers to Compare
Use the left and right dropdowns to choose the two layers you want to compare.
Only layers that are already uploaded to the map and in supported formats will appear.
Supported formats (for now): raster layers — GeoTIFF (.tif/.tiff) and DEMs.
We’re exploring additional file formats.
Tip: Name layers with dates (e.g., Stockpile_2025‑08‑15.tif) so they’re easy to identify.
Working with the Compare Slider
Drag the central slider left or right to reveal each layer.
Zoom in for greater detail and pan the map to inspect specific areas.
For best results, ensure both layers cover the same area and have similar resolution.
Viewing Data in Different Modes
Split Screen is designed for direct, side‑by‑side comparison on the map.
When you’re finished, switch to 2D, 3D, or Media to continue exploring a single view.
Key Points to Remember
