When you create a project, GPS positions are stored in the images layer and displayed on the map. The Image Viewer allows you to view the image associated with each GPS location. It gives you the ability to view features in your imagery from different angles and at your image's native resolution. With an image selected, you can zoom and pan around the image to review it and find the best angle to inspect an area or item of interest. To highlight an area of interest in your images, use the annotation tools to mark up your image and export the image with annotations to quickly share or to include in a report.

To open the Image Viewer, you can click any image point on the map.
