How to Control using Voice Commands

Select the microphone icon, or press CTRL+Space Bar (with your mouse cursor in the input field) and speak your command. Refer to Examples for things you can say or type. Pay attention to Keywords that start sentences.

How to Control the 2D Map

Navigate the standard map (2D) effortlessly by clicking and dragging, and use scroll or pinch gestures to zoom in or out. The following instructions are for mouse or touch controls:

Mouse		Touch
	Pan view Left click + drag		Pan view One finger drag
	Zoom view Mouse wheel scroll or use +/- buttons (mouse scroll is disabled by default – click anywhere on the map or the zoom icons to enable scroll)		Zoom view Two finger pinch

How to Control the 3D map

Interact with the 3D map (Cesium) by panning, zooming and rotating. The following instructions are for mouse or touch controls:

Mouse		Touch
	Pan view Left click + drag		Pan view One finger drag
	Zoom view Right click + drag, or Mouse wheel scroll		Zoom view Two finger pinch
	Rotate view CTRL + Left/Right click + drag		Tilt view Two finger drag, same direction
			Rotate view Two finger drag, opposite direction

Examples to Query for Data Sets

With Visualize, you can turn off AI to search for data by entering an address or lat/long. Or, turn on AI and query for data using natural language. Keywords “Query”, “Show”, “Display” are all used to plot data results on a map. “How many” or “Count” keywords will return the total number of sites matching the query without displaying the results. With AI turned on, try natural language queries like this:

Show me sites in Dallas, Texas
Show me towers owned by American Tower in Seattle, WA
Show me sites that are taller than 100 feet in Florida
Display sites that are within 10 miles of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC
How many sites are within 2 miles of 13185 Davis Road, Colorado Springs, CO
Display the Movistar sites in Panama that are 3G
Count the LTE sites owned by Vodafone in India

NOTE: Data can also be uploaded to perform multi-ring searches. Select the Data icon, then choose CSV Upload and follow instructions.

Example Commands to Perform Actions on Data Sets

Once you have a data set in view, the following are example commands to perform action on the data. Refer to Keywords for special words that start sentences. #Numbers refer to the pin numbers of sites in the data set.

Zoom into #2 (2D and 3D maps)
Focus on the 1st one (2D and 3D maps)
Rotate around number 3 (3D maps)
Look at #2
Info about the 3rd one
Contact #1
Download this data set
Check line of sight from #1 to #2
Check route from 1 to 2
Check coverage from #2 using 3.5 Ghz
Add a radio to Tower #3
Add my house at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC
- Check coverage from my house to #2
- Check los from my house to #1
Clear the map
Help me
View in 3D (block mode)
View in Real 3D (photorealistic mode)

Keywords

Begin your sentence with one of these powerful reserved keywords. Using keywords results in faster and more accurate responses.

When a keyword is not used, you can ask the AI literally anything! Really, anything. Such as “Who are the Internet providers in Miami, Florida?”.

Query Display Show Count How many	Retrieving a data set is one of the most important features in Airwaive. While it is possible to turn off AI and search for data given an address, the ability for AI to understand detailed queries makes it easier to get the data that you need. When in AI mode, there are a number of keywords to use to query for data. See the examples tab to understand potential queries using these keywords.
Info	Info, or Information, is used in combination with the number of a pin in a data set to retrieve additional information about the site.
Look	Look is used in combination with the number of a pin in a data set to see imagery of the site.
Focus	Focus is used in combination with the number of a pin to quickly center the map on the building or property you’re interested in.
Zoom	Zoom is used in combination with the number of a pin to quickly zoom to the location on the map.
Rotate	Rotate is used in combination with the number of the pin to rotate around the building or structure to view it from different angles in 3D mode.
Contact	Contact is used in combination with the number of a pin in a data set to find contact information for the site owner (if it exists).
Check	Check is combined with secondary keywords: Check coverage from #1 using 3.5 Ghz (for coverage) Check line of sight from #1 to #2 (for los analysis) Check route from #1 to #2 (for ground distance routing)
Add	Add a location to the map such and reference them later with the “my” word. For example, “Add my house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC”, and then reference it with other commands like “Check line of sight from my house to #2”. Add also supports equipment placement. Use “Add Radio”, “Add Mast” along with a pin number or address to add equipment. For example, “Add radio to Tower #3”.
Download	Download all the information about your selection for offline access or further analysis.
Clear	Use this command by itself to easily clear your search box and start fresh.
View	View allows you to change the view type by voice or text input, as an alternative to selecting the view buttons. You may say: View map View results View in 3D View in real 3D

A guide to the icons in the Visualize viewer and their meaning:

	Voice Search Use voice commands to search for specific locations on the map.
	Text Search Type your commands and press enter (or this icon) to search locations.
	Data Set The icon is green when working on a current data set and red if there is no data set that is loaded. Click on the icon to view your recent data sets.
	Full Screen Expand the map to fullscreen mode for a larger viewing experience.
	Map 2D representation of an area on the map.
	Text Get informative text-based answers and responses.
	Image View images to get a visual perspective of the location.
	3D Block Display a simplified 3D representation of buildings and structures without intricate details.
	3D Real Experience a realistic and detailed 3D representation of buildings and structures..
