Add survey and aerial maps

The SiteHive Dashboard Map lets you enhance your site view with high-resolution aerial imagery and survey maps. You can:

  • Integrate with Propeller Aero for up-to-date drone survey maps.

  • Use MetroMap and Nearmap for high-quality aerial imagery.

These integrations give you better visual context, making it easier to manage and report on your monitoring data.

You can also overlay KML files: see Add a KML Map.

Your latest drone survey becomes the basemap under your monitoring points, so your data sits on current site conditions rather than outdated satellite imagery.
