Introduction

The GeoJSON export feature in CupixConnect allows you to download SiteView data in a globally compatible GIS format. This package includes both pano images and a GeoJSON file containing spatial metadata, so you can use Cupix data directly in GIS tools like QGIS or ArcGIS without additional conversion.

Note: The GeoJSON option is available only if geolocation is enabled in the project (Unified license only). For details on how to enable it, see the Enable Geocoordinates in a Project article.

Export with Geolocation

1. Open CupixConnect on your desktop and select Download SiteView Content.

Note:

• This option appears only when enabled; contact your CSM to activate it for your team.
• Accessible only to users in the Team Admin or Super Admin group.

2. Choose the download type: GeoJSON for GIS software

3. Enter the SiteView URL or ID of the project you want to export.

4. Select the content to include:
   • Levels: Choose one or multiple project levels.
   • Captures Dates: Include captures from one or multiple dates (range or selected dates) as needed.
   • Image Format: Choose between WebP and JPG to meet your need.

5. Start the download. CupixConnect will create a ZIP archive with the exported data.

   Note: Large projects may generate multi-gigabyte ZIP files—make sure you have sufficient local storage.

Using the Data in GIS Tools

When you download SiteView content with geolocation, CupixConnect creates a ZIP archive containing:

• GeoJSON file – Uses the WGS84 (EPSG:4326) coordinate system, includes pano metadata (file name, capture date, altitude), and provides image path links to associated pano images.
• Pano images – High-resolution files for each selected capture, stored in absolute paths referenced inside the GeoJSON file.

You can import the GeoJSON file into GIS platforms such as QGIS or ArcGIS as a layer:

• Panos appear as geolocated point features with metadata.
• Clicking an image path link in the GeoJSON properties opens the corresponding pano image.
• No coordinate transformation is required.

Note: Exported images are only accessible from the downloader’s local folder. The file path and file names must remain unchanged for the links to work.

Recommended Plug-in for QGIS

We recommend installing the Panorama Viewer plug-in, which enables viewing of 360° panoramic images directly in QGIS. [Download here]
