Sites & Map

The Sites screen is your starting point in the SiteView mobile app. View all your construction sites as a searchable list or as colour-coded pins on an interactive map, then tap through to any site for detail, point capture, and measurements.

Sites List

The list view shows all sites you have access to. Each row displays the site name, status badge, and location summary. Scroll through or use the search bar at the top to find a specific site by name.

Search and Filter

Type in the search bar to filter sites in real time. The list narrows as you type, matching against site names. You can also filter by status to show only active, on hold, completed, or archived sites.

Pull to Refresh

Pull down on the list to trigger a manual sync with the server. This fetches any sites that have been created or updated since your last sync — useful when a colleague has just added a new site and you want to see it immediately.

Map View

Toggle from the list to the map view to see all your sites plotted geographically. The map uses OpenStreetMap tiles rendered with flutter_map, providing a responsive and familiar mapping experience.

Pin Colours

Each site pin is colour-coded by its current status:

This gives you an at-a-glance view of where your active work is concentrated and which sites have been completed.

Clustering

When you have many sites in a region, nearby pins are grouped into clusters to keep the map readable. Each cluster shows a count of how many sites it contains.

Zoom in to break clusters apart and see individual site pins. Zoom out and the pins merge back into clusters automatically. Tap a cluster to zoom to the area it covers.

💡 Tip

If you are looking for a specific site on the map, use the search bar on the list view first, then switch to the map. The map will centre on the matching site.

Tapping a Pin

Tap a site pin to display a summary card at the bottom of the screen. The card shows:

• Site name and status badge
• Location summary
• Quick actions — tap the card to open the full site detail screen

From the site detail screen, you can view the site on a dedicated map, see its measurements, capture new points, and access offline data.

Your Location

If you have granted location permission, a blue dot shows your current GPS position on the map. This helps you orient yourself relative to your sites and is essential for on-site use.

A centre on location button snaps the map back to your current position if you have panned away.

ℹ️ Did you know?

GPS position accuracy depends on your device and environment. Open areas typically achieve 3-5 metre accuracy with phone GPS. For centimetre-level accuracy, connect an RTK Bluetooth receiver — see RTK Bluetooth Setup.

Site Detail

Tapping through from a pin or list row opens the site detail screen. Here you can see:

• Site information — name, description, status, tags, and linked project
• Site map — a dedicated map view zoomed to the site's location, showing any captured points and measurements
• Measurements — a list of all measurements and captured points for the site
• Orthophoto overlay — if a survey has been processed on the web, the orthophoto tiles are available as a map overlay

The site detail screen is where you do most of your field work — capturing points, reviewing measurements, and viewing survey data overlaid on the map.

Syncing Site Data

Site data syncs automatically when you open the app and have an internet connection. Changes made on the web (new sites, updated details, processed surveys) appear on mobile after syncing.

Measurements and points captured on mobile sync back to the server, making them available in the SiteView web app. If you are working offline, captured data is stored locally and synced when connectivity returns — see Offline Mode for details.
