Docs Layer Management

Layer Management

Layers are the imagery under your map, satellite, drone, or survey overlays. Request them from Turfile or upload your own, then manage and toggle them on the map.

Layers are the imagery that sits underneath your map. Plain satellite gets you started, but the right imagery makes the map read like your actual course: a recent satellite pass, a high-resolution drone flyover, or a survey overlay you already have.

Two ways to get a layer

  • Request it from Turfile. Tell us what you need, satellite or drone, and we handle the rest, sourcing it, processing it, and dropping the finished layer straight into your workspace.
  • Upload your own. If you already have imagery as a GeoTIFF, bring it in yourself.

Either way, the layer lands in your property, ready to turn on.

Then you manage and show them

Once you’ve got layers, you’re in control of them:

Where this lives

It all runs from the Layers widget in the widget panel on the right of the screen. That’s where you toggle layers, and its Manage layers button opens the full Layer manager, where requesting, uploading, and managing happen.

In this section

Requesting imagery is part of the Standard and Pro plans. On Basic you’ll see the request options locked, with an upgrade prompt.
