If you want to be able to see where each photo was taken relative to your project alignment, you can upload your project alignment as a KML file.
This is useful if you want to be able to see where photos are, relative to other assets such as:
Road and tunnel control lines
Utilities and services
Project site boundaries
It's also very useful on remote greenfield projects when there are no roads/landmarks visible in Google Maps yet.
How to upload the KML file
Click on the relevant project in the sidebar
In the home section, click settings
Click 'Project Alignment' on the left side of the screen
Click the blue button 'Upload alignment'
Select your alignment KML file from your computer, and upload.
Once you've completed these steps, when you view a photo with GPS data, you will see the alignment.
How to change the alignment
Currently, we only support one project alignment per project. If you want to make a change or add more detail to your KML, you can overwrite the existing KML by following the steps above, and clicking 'Upload alignment'
