Creating Annotations #

To create an annotation or note on the map simply use your mouse to right-click on the desired location on the map and then select Add Annotation/Asset Marker

Add Annotation/Asset Marker from Map Viewer Menu

The Add Annotation/Asset Marker window will appear where you can enter notes and even add additional photo images, documents and other files related to the site.

NOTE:  You should be able to attach virtually any document or file format type to the map location. However, you must have a native program for that document already installed on the same PC you wish to open or modify the document or file.

 

 

Once you click the OK button, a purple dot will appear on the map marking your annotation on the map.

 

NOTE:  When using LineVision Basic and LineVision Google Earth Extension, you can only view documents and images, and cannot edit annotations.
