Pictometry Viewer

When you launch the Pictometry viewer a new window will open.

NAVIGATING IMAGES

The Navigator Bar is used to rotate the image, zoom in and out, see the image date and select a map type. This example shows N at the top of the Navigator, indicating that you are viewing a north facing image (view from the south). This is Pictometry’s default view.

Below the Navigator Bar is a zoom in and out buttons to adjust the zoom level. You can also zoom using the plus/minus buttons or the scroll wheel on your mouse. As you zoom in or out, the image will automatically switch between Neighborhood and Community images, if available.

 

The ‘Shows Labels’ selection, within the Layer drop-down menu, will display the road name when roads are visible.

The Navigator Bar displays the date of the current image. To the right of that date are two numbers, indicating which image you are currently viewing of how many images are available in that location with the same directional view and image level. Use the Next or Previous arrows to scroll through the images.

If you select the dropdown arrow, it will provide a list of all image capture years available. By default All Imagery is selected. By selecting Only Latest you will see only the newest imagery, as shown in the screenshot. You can choose to only see a specific year by selecting the year.

EXPORT IMAGE & PRINT FROM PDF – Export the current image as a PDF. Explorer will crop the image to the current view, and include any visible overlays. The PDF will open in your chosen viewer and you can save or print it from there.
