====== GIS management ======

===== In a few words =====

TILOS 360 allows you to create **construction phasing directly on
standard or satellite maps**, **georeference PDF plans** on these
maps and **import zones and axes** from a **KMZ file**.

-----

===== Maps =====

TILOS 360 allows you to design phasing scenarios directly on
**standard or satellite maps**.

Simply search for an address to display the corresponding map
using the **search field** available on the map.

For example, you can search for a city (for example *Toulouse*)
and then select a **detailed Satellite view**.

===== Map types =====

The selector located below the search field allows you to choose
the **map type**.

Several sources are available:

  * **IGN**
  * **OpenStreetMap**
  * **ESRI**
  * **Bing Maps**

For each source, different background maps can be selected:

  * **Orthophotos**
  * **Historical maps**
  * **Specialized maps**
  * ...

-----

===== Adjusting the map =====

Several tools are available to adjust the map.

**1. Move the map**

Click on the map and move it using the **mouse wheel button**.

**2. Use zoom**

Zoom can be controlled using:

  * the **zoom buttons**
  * the **mouse wheel**

For more precise zooming:

  * **Alt + mouse wheel**

Image quality is optimal at **integer zoom levels**
(for example **15.0** or **16.0**).

**3. Rotate the map**

To orient the map:

  - activate the orientation tool by checking the box next to the zoom level
  - click the **red arrow** at the top right of the map

The arrow then changes color.

Then click the **Hand** icon to switch to **map move mode**.

You can now **rotate the map** using the mouse.

Once the rotation is completed:

  - click the **arrow** again
  - then click the **hand**

to exit rotation and move modes.

Once the map is correctly positioned,
**print zones** can be defined.

-----

===== Importing KML / KMZ =====

It is possible to **draw zones and axes directly on the map**,
but they can also be **imported from a KMZ file**
created in **Google Earth**.

To import a file:

  - click **Import KML**
  - select the **KMZ file**

The zones contained in the file are then automatically
created in the project.

-----

===== Displaying the map behind the plan =====

**Georeferenced plans** can display the **GIS map
as a background**, even **beyond the boundaries of the plan**.

Two tools allow this display to be managed:

  * enabling the **background map**
  * adjusting the **opacity**

This makes it easy to combine:

  * a **technical plan**
  * a **GIS map**
