Experience Smart Site Plan allows visitors to freely access, view, and share publicly available datasets without an account, using the Open Data engine at experience.smartsiteplan.com.
Search
The Search feature enables users to find datasets based on keywords. For precise results, use double quotes around the search term.
- Select the yellow-highlighted search bar at the top of the Experience Smart Site Plan interface.
- Enter your keyword and either select the magnifying glass icon or press Enter.
- For an exact match, enclose the keyword in double quotes and repeat the previous step.
Trending
Trending keywords guide users to relevant datasets within the current map view. These terms are tailored to display surrounding data related to the selected keyword. Note: Enclosing a trending term in double quotes provides similar results.
- Select a trending keyword bubble that interests you.
- The selected keyword (e.g., Imagery) will display related datasets in the map view.
- In the Trending section, select the option labeled View more in the footer to see all available trending terms.
Location
The Location feature allows users to navigate to a specific place. Select the location input field, type a keyword, and choose from the list of matching locations to move the map to that area.
To navigate to your current location, select the arrow icon next to the location input field.
Shares
- Select the share button located in the bottom-right corner of the interface to create a unique share link.
- Each share generates a unique URL for sharing your current map view and data.
- Additional sharing options are available in the footer of the share window.
- Shares remain active for at least 30 days. Due to storage limitations, shares may be deleted after this period. Subscribing to Smart Site Plan removes this limitation and enables custom titles, descriptions, basemaps, layers, and more.
Restrictions
Experience Smart Site Plan has limitations compared to the full Open Data feature. To remove these restrictions, subscribe to Smart Site Plan.
Using Results
- Select a dataset from the search results that interests you.
- A card will appear at the top of the Open Data container, offering options to adjust opacity, save data, toggle high-definition mode, favorite the dataset, or view its legend.
- Once the card’s header no longer displays a green loading bar, the dataset should be visible on the map. Note: Some datasets may not load due to internet or server issues, as Open Data relies on third-party sources beyond our control.
- Click a dataset element on the map to view a popup with its relevant information. Note: Some sources may not provide detailed information, depending on the third-party data.
Request for Removal
You can request the removal of specific data sources. If approved, the requested URL will no longer be available in Smart Site Plan.
- Locate the dataset you wish to request for removal and select the flag icon next to it.
- A popup will appear, prompting you to provide the following details:
- The URL field indicates the source to be removed. If approved, this URL will be removed from Smart Site Plan.
- The Email field requires the submitter’s email for reference and potential contact if permitted.
- The Restriction level field offers two options: URL Only removes only the specific URL, while Entire Domain removes all URLs associated with the domain (e.g., all URLs under https://maps.ghd.com/argic/rest/services).
- The Reason for removal field requires an explanation for the removal request.
- After completing the form, select the button labeled Submit to send the request.
