Welcome to Earth XI
Here's what every button does. Takes 60 seconds.
Moving the globe
Desktop — drag to pan · scroll wheel to zoom · right-click + drag (or Ctrl + drag) to tilt & rotate · double-click to zoom in. Mobile — one finger drag to pan · pinch to zoom · two-finger drag up/down to tilt · two-finger twist to rotate.
Hit the 🏠 home button in the header to snap back to the default world view.
Search bar (bottom)
Type any geographic question — "nuclear plants in France", "weather Phoenix to Little Rock", "show me the silk road". Hit Enter or click the green arrow.
Sidebar (☰ top-left)
Globe controls (atmosphere, terrain, 3D buildings), live data feeds (flights, ships, weather, earthquakes), and your saved layers.
Marks
Save the current view as a bookmark, OR double-click anywhere on the map to drop a labelled annotation. Both live in the Marks modal — click any row to fly back.
Chat
Ask follow-up questions in plain English. Useful for things that aren't strictly geographic ("why does X happen?") or for refining a layer you already loaded.
Measure / Route
Measure: click points to chain a distance ruler. Route: click two points to draw a real driving / walking / cycling route via Mapbox.
Data Insights panel (right)
Slides in after every query. Title, summary, stats, full data table, and 👍 / 👎 buttons to flag if the answer was right or wrong. Your feedback shapes the model.
Feedback (header)
Anything bigger than a 👍 / 👎 — bug reports, ideas, "wait, why is this purple?" The owner reads every one.
Tip: the green count in the header is your daily AI quota. Live feeds (flights, weather radar, etc.) and saved layers don't burn quota — only new AI prompts do.
