How to search for cartographic information using the Vissir viewer

  1. Enter the viewer (https://visors.icgc.cat/vissir).
  2. In the menu on the left, go to the “Search” tab. Here you can search according to the information you have:
    • Toponym (place name)
    • Address (municipality, address and number)
    • Coordinates
    • ...
  3. From the drop-down list of results that will be shown to you, click on the one that interests you.
  4. Once you are located in the area of ​​your interest, if you need to move around the map (up, down, left or right), hold down the left mouse button and drag the map in the direction you want. You can enlarge or reduce the screen information with the zoom bar that you will find in the upper left corner of the viewer.
  5. Once you are well located, you can communicate the area of ​​your interest to us in several ways:
    • By drawing on the cartography: in the menu on the left, go to the “Editor” tab, “Draw” section, choose the “Draw polygon” icon. Go to the map and mark each corner of the polygon by clicking with the left mouse button. To close the polygon, double-click on the last corner. In the same tab of the left menu (Editor), go to the “Export” section and click on “kml”. A file will be generated that you can save to your computer and send to us by email.
    • For its coordinates: click on the information icon in the top menu of the viewer (an “i” inside a globe) and click on the point of the territory for which you are looking for information. A small window will appear with information about the UTM coordinates of the point. In order for us to be able to search for the photographic information that we have at the ICGC, you must provide us with the data that appears in said window (you can copy and paste it into the email you send us).
