Results

Results from absolute measurements (point coordinates) are displayed in the active CRS of the publication. The default CRS is WGS84 decimal degrees. Switching between WGS84 decimal degrees and any CRS of the published resources is accessible via the Settings Menu in the left lower corner.

Results from relative measurements (distances, areas) will be calculated in an on-the-fly calculated local projection centered around the first measured coordinate. This local projections returns the most realistic metric result at all time.

• Add: the displayed measurement result will be copied to a table. For every added measurement code and comment information can be added.
  
• Remove: selected measurement result will be removed from the table.
  
• Remove all: all measurement results will be removed from the table.
  
• Download: all results added in the table will be downloaded into “Orbit-3D-Mapping-Viewer-Measurements.kml” file.
