Map View Coordinate Picking

Displaying boreholes on a map and picking coordinates by clicking

Once a borehole has coordinates and a coordinate system, GeoDin can display it on a map and let you adjust the location interactively. The map view also supports the reverse workflow — clicking on the map to capture coordinates into a new or existing object.

For configuring the coordinate system itself (EPSG codes, the G1_EPSG.GSD dictionary, and in-mask transformations), see Coordinate Systems and EPSG.

Displaying a borehole on the map

Once coordinates and a coordinate system are entered, a borehole can be displayed on a map via the map preview button in the right-hand ribbon.

Picking coordinates by clicking

The map view supports picking coordinates by clicking. The Draw tool lets users click on the map to capture local easting / northing values back into the coordinate fields. This is useful for establishing tentative borehole locations before precise survey data is available.

The Cross-section method also includes a top-down map view for spatially selecting boreholes — use drag-rectangle selection to pull all objects in an area into the cross-section workflow.
