Checking coverage

Survey maps are your best tool for verifying you've documented an entire site. After uploading photos from a visit, open the survey map and look for gaps.

  • Dense clusters of pins indicate well-documented areas
  • Empty zones may indicate areas you missed or didn't photograph
  • Pin distribution patterns show your path through the site

If you spot gaps, you know exactly where to focus on your next visit.

Comparing surveys over time

When a project has multiple surveys (for example, monthly inspections), compare their maps to track changes:

  • See how photo coverage has shifted between visits
  • Identify areas that were documented in one survey but not another
  • Track the progression of work or conditions across the site

What you see

Survey maps show the same features as project-level maps:

  • Photo pins with thumbnail previews
  • Camera orientation arrows
  • Marker clustering for dense photo groups
  • Satellite and roadmap toggle
  • Dark mode theme support

Tips

  • Review the survey map before generating a report. It gives you confidence that your documentation is complete.
  • Use survey maps during client meetings to walk through the site visually before presenting the detailed photo log.
