To help answer some questions users may have, see TreeKeeper New Map FAQ.
What is Changing?
We are updating TreeKeeper to match Davey’s green.
We are now using Google Maps within TreeKeeper.
The layer picker has been updated for better user organization.
Redesigned Popup/Callout box for feature identification.
New Color Scheme
We are updating TreeKeeper’s color palette to match Davey’s green.
Along with the new color scheme, we have updated many buttons and icons within TreeKeeper!
New Map Interface
Base Layer Selection
The Google Street, Google Satellite, and Open Street Map options are now located ON the map in the top-right corner.
For Google Street (Map), you can enable or disable Terrain.
For Google Satellite (Satellite), you can enable Labels for Streets, Buildings, and other map objects.
Layer Navigation
The new layer navigation allows users to customize their layer list!
Hiding Layers
Clicking on the “eye” icon for a layer will toggle its visibility:
Reordering Layers
Users can now change the order of their layers on the fly! To reorder layers:
Click the “Locked” icon
to unlock your layer list.
With the drag indicator
, drag and drop layers where you would like.
When finished, click the “Unlocked” icon
to lock your layer list again.
The order is reflected on the map, so layers at the top will display on top of any active layers below it. Because of that, we suggest having Selected Layers on top of Data Layers on top of Reference Layers.
Setting Layers to Inactive
Users can now deactivate layers, which moves them out of the Active Layers section and into the Inactive Layers section. This is helpful for larger systems that have different teams working on different data/features. To set layers to inactive:
Click the “Locked” icon
Deactivate/Activate layer
Deactivate: In Active Layers, click the “Remove” icon
next to the layer you want to deactivate.
Activate: In Inactive Layers, click the “Add” icon
next to the layer you want to activate.
When finished, click the “Unlocked” icon
Inactive Layers
Inactive Layers are separated into 3 different groups:
are used to highlight sites that are available in the data grid. Sites can be selected from map tools or searches.
are all the data-based layers in the system that you can add points/lines/polygons to.
are commonly shapefiles storing information that doesn’t change often, like City Limits or Wards.
Popup/Callout Box
The Popup/Callout Box has been redesigned, giving it a new look and feel that matches the new map and color scheme of TreeKeeper.
Map Tools
The Map Tools buttons have been given new icons and buttons that provide more information about what they do.
