The fly to coordinate tool enables you to fly to an exact location within your project and to mark that location with a point markup. Once defined, the markup can be edited or attachments added as usual.

Location coordinates must be defined in metres, entered in either a X, Y or X, Y, Z format and be within the boundaries of your project CRS (Coordinate Reference System), for the fly to coordinate tool to work.

Latitude/Longitude units are not supported at present, however if you have coordinates in this format, they can easily be transformed to match your project CRS using this website 

Every project on Sensat has a CRS. To view what CRS your project is using, go to settings (at the top of the right-hand toolbar) and select project settings. A CRS is a series of mathematical rules that defines the location of a point (X, Y, Z) in a defined space and ensures that different sets of geospatial information within a project (e.g. a pointcloud and a CAD model) can align with one another correctly.

1. Select the helicopter icon in the left-hand toolbar

2. Enter your coordinates, defined in metres and separated by commas. Both X, Y and Y, Y, Z formats are accepted. If you don’t provide a z-coordinate we will estimate the elevation for you.

the coordinates you enter must be inside your project CRS or you will not be able to fly to them.

3. Once you have entered valid coordinates, a grey box will appear, listing your coordinates and showing a point icon. Clicking on this grey box will fly to your chosen location.

4. A transparent point markup will be displayed at the exact coordinates that you defined. At this stage you can choose to save the point by clicking on it or hitting enter. Alternatively, you can discard the markup by pressing 

5. If you have chosen to keep the markup, it will appear as in the image below. The 

 panel will also open, providing you with the opportunity to edit the markup e.g. change the name, apply an icon, add it to the timeline etc or add an attachment.

3. Once logged in, you can access all projects you have been invited to via the side panel. Click your profile photo in the top left corner and ‘Projects’.

4. Navigate around the map, including the 2D data on your project.

5. Click the blue arrow button in the bottom right; this will take you to your current location if you are on-site or to the project data if you’re not.

Take a photo of a site, or use an existing one, to create a comment in the app and share it with the project. These will appear in the same way as comments do now in the web app.

1. Open the app on the map page and click the camera icon at the bottom (you will need to allow camera access to use this feature).

1. Take a photo of an issue on-site, or something you want to share with the team.

2. Select ‘Use Photo’ and type a message to accompany it. Use ‘@teammember’ to tag the relevant people.

N.B. Only people that have been invited to the project (via the web app) are available to be tagged

1. Click the blue arrow to send the image.

2. A comment will be created on the map at your current location if your location is switched on, or in the middle of your current map view if it’s off.

1. Open the app and click the camera button at the bottom (you will need to allow access to your photos to use this feature).

2. Click the image in the bottom left corner.

3. On the list of photos that appear, select the one to share.

All comments on your project are available via the mobile app, whether created on mobile or the desktop app.

1. Comments can be opened by clicking on their icons on the map.

2. Or you can open the ‘Comments’ tab at the bottom right.

3. Locate and select the comment you would like to open in more detail.

4. Once in a comment thread, you can see all the messages and expand any images to see them clearly.

5. To reply to the latest comment in this thread, click on the bar at the bottom and type a message

6. Images can also be added to the message - use the ‘camera’ to take a new one or the existing photos icon to add one that’s already been taken. This works in the same way as creating a new comment.
