Map

Map View gives you a visual way to track work on site. Use it for daily coordination, spotting clashes, creating automatic staging diagrams, or to walk others through what’s happening; where, when & who. Maps can be simple floor plans or real-world maps with coordinates, and can connect to external layers like GIS data or drone imagery.

Every Task on the Map is tied to the schedule, so when the plan moves, the Map automatically updates too.
