Ahhh we’re gonna go through some definitions, so people know what we’re referring toHere is come common terminology used with the TreeKeeper system.

Layers

How different data is displayed in TreeKeeper. There are a few key types.

Aerial

As a base layer, we can configure an .SID aerial imagery file for use in TreeKeeper. If you do not have aerial imagery, there are a couple of preloaded satellite base layers.

Basemap / Shapefile

These are external files hosted in Davey mapping servers that display visually different items of data such as city limits, park boundaries, bodies of water, streets, and parcels.

Base Layer

The map displayed underneath all of your data. This can be a custom configured aerial or one of the default maps that comes with TreeKeeper.

Data Layer / Facility

The different icons that contain data on each site on the map managed by the TreeKeeper system. Traditionally, these are broken down into Street Trees, Private Trees, or Park Trees, but can be any type of asset you’d like to manage and track.

External

These layers are special in that Davey is not the host of the data but rather consumes a hosted service in order to represent that information in TreeKeeper.
