Welcome to LUMA Explorer. Choose a topic above to read about that part of the app. Each section opens on its own page so you can focus on one thing at a time.
When you open a project, the map automatically frames the whole site so you can see the project boundary at a glance. The highlighted outline shows where the project area is.
Tap the LUMA Explorer logo in the top-left corner anytime to reopen this guide.
The project title in the header tells you which site or development you are viewing.
The map works like other online maps — drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom. Zoom is limited so you stay focused on the project site.
Use the + and − buttons at the bottom-right of the map if you prefer buttons over scrolling.
If you have panned or zoomed away, a red overview button appears on the left. Tap it to return to the full site view.
Pins mark important spots on the map. Tap any pin to see more — either a comment popup or a 360° viewpoint. When many pins are close together, they group into a small numbered circle with icons for each pin type around it; tap the cluster to zoom in and see each pin.
Viewpoint pins let you step inside a panoramic photo from that exact location on site. The map plays a short fly-through animation as you move in and out of the scene.
Click and drag (or swipe on a phone) to pan your view inside the panorama.
Tap ← Back to Map View at the top-left to leave the panorama and return to the site plan.
These buttons sit in a column at the top-left of the map.
Resets the map to show the whole project site. Only appears after you have moved away from the starting view.
Trace a path on the map to measure how far it is. Tap points along the route, then double-click or press and hold to finish.
Place at least three corners around a space to measure its area. Double-click or press and hold when finished.
Search, filters, and map style controls sit at the top-right of the map.
Show or hide different pin types — useful on busy projects with many panoramas and comments.
Switch between Satellite, Map View, and Topographic to see the site in different ways.
Type an address or place name and press Enter to jump the map to that location.
If the project has multiple phases, a row of buttons appears along the bottom of the map. Each button represents a construction stage and shows a matching plan overlay aligned to the real-world map — such as a grid layout or site plan for that phase.
Use two fingers to pinch in or out on the map.
Press and hold on the map to finish a distance or area measurement.
On smaller screens, comment and filter panels slide up from the bottom so they do not cover the whole map.
Enter your name so the presenter and other viewers can see who joined.
