Sharing views

Every view has a link. Copy it and anyone with a login opens the same place, altitude and layers.

  1. Set up the view you want: the place, the angle and the layers.
  2. Press the link button at the top right, or copy the page address. The address updates as you move.
  3. Send it. The recipient needs their own login to open it.

Screenshots and recordings

Hide the rails with [ and ] for a clean shot. Keep the credit line in frame: the map and data credits must stay visible in anything you publish. If you share a screenshot outside your team, check it shows only public-view data. The Republican view can show chair phone numbers and email addresses.
