GaeaSynergy links map features to the structured information stored with each project. Users can work from a geographic overview, open project locations and examine site data in its real-world context.
Use an online map service for familiar geographic context or a controlled static basemap for project-specific mapping.
Display available online street and map services, move between geographic extents and use address, coordinate and map-navigation tools.
Create a reusable local basemap and add project-controlled imagery and GIS layers that do not depend on an online service.
Navigate, inspect, organize and communicate spatial project information without separating the map from the underlying project database.
Map projects, boreholes, wells, stations and samples using their stored coordinates and recognizable symbols.
Combine subsurface locations with imagery, roads, property information, pipelines, utilities, zoning and other available GIS layers.
Select map features to review attributes, display informative map hints and search a chosen layer for matching records.
Locate points by address, latitude and longitude or UTM coordinates, and obtain available address or elevation information at a map point.
Measure between map points, adjust units, move through the map and return quickly to the full project or basemap extent.
Save a map image to the project or to a file, then reuse project images within presentation-ready project views.
GaeaSynergy can work with common spatial and drawing sources so existing project information can be viewed alongside the subsurface database.
Supported sources include shapefile, AutoCAD, raster, ArcInfo, GPS and USGS data. The exact import or linking workflow depends on the source and the GaeaSynergy version in use.
Control the visible context for the work at hand.
A consistent mapping workflow reduces spatial ambiguity and produces reusable site views.
Review the project coordinate system, datum, units and location data before adding map content.
Choose a suitable web map service or static basemap for the project area and reporting requirements.
Bring in the imagery, boundaries, infrastructure and reference information needed for interpretation.
Plot project locations, boreholes, wells, stations, samples and available interpretation features.
Search, identify and label features, then set appropriate line, area, marker and display properties.
Save an image to the project or a file for use in project views, documentation and communication.
The project map provides the spatial foundation for related interpretation and visualization workflows.
