Map Layers

The Map Layers panel controls the visual style of the base map, the dimensional mode (2D or 3D), terrain rendering, and any asset overlays currently loaded.

Map Style Switcher

Choose from several base map styles to suit operational requirements:

Style	Use Case
Satellite	High-resolution aerial imagery for site identification
Terrain	Topographic shading for elevation awareness
Hybrid	Satellite imagery with road and place labels
Street	Road-centric vector map for urban navigation

2D / 3D Toggle

Switch between a flat overhead map (2D) and a perspective 3D view that renders terrain elevation. 3D mode is recommended when operating in hilly or mountainous terrain.

Map in 3D Cesium mode

Terrain Rendering

When terrain is enabled in 3D mode, the Cesium engine renders elevation data so the flight path and drone icon follow the actual ground surface. This affects waypoint altitude display and obstacle visualisation.

Asset Overlays

Reference layers such as uploaded orthomosaics, KML/KMZ files, or site plans can be toggled as overlays on the base map. Each overlay has an independent opacity control.
