Levels, GPS & offline

Clear or redo a level's GPS

All guides

Calibration isn't set in stone. If a level's blue dot lands in the wrong place — or you've replaced the level image — you can re-position it, wipe its corners and start over, or nudge the coordinates by hand. This guide covers all three.

Re-position from where you left off

The quickest fix is usually to open the tool again and adjust. Expand the level on the GPS tab and click 📍 Position on map. If the level already has corners, the tool opens framed to them, with your image sitting where you last placed it — so you can nudge, distort or rotate to correct a small drift, then ✓ Capture corners again.

Re-capturing overwrites the old corners and re-publishes automatically, so the corrected position goes live straight away.

Clear a level and start fresh

If the calibration is badly off — or you've swapped in a completely different level image — it's cleaner to wipe the corners and position from scratch.

  1. Open the level

    On the GPS tab, expand the level with Edit.

  2. Click Clear this level

    Clear this level empties all four corner boxes and removes the ✓ GPS set badge. The level is now uncalibrated.

  3. Position it again

    Click 📍 Position on map — with no saved corners, the tool starts you with a fresh box in the current view. Line it up and ✓ Capture corners.

Clearing a level only empties the corners in the editor — remember to re-capture (or Save) so the cleared state is published. Clearing does not remove the level image or anything else about the level.

Fine-tune the coordinates by hand

Each corner has its own Latitude and Longitude box — Top-left, Top-right, Bottom-left and Bottom-right. You can type or paste values directly, which is handy if a surveyor or architect has given you exact coordinates, or if you want to tweak a single corner by a few metres.

  1. Type into the corner boxes

    Enter a decimal latitude and longitude for each corner (for example -33.8688 and 151.2093). Southern latitudes and western longitudes are negative.

  2. Values commit as you type

    The ✓ GPS set badge appears as soon as any corner has a value. Leave a corner blank and it simply isn't saved — so fill all four for an accurate dot.

  3. Save to publish

    Unlike Capture, hand-typed changes don't auto-publish. Click Save & Publish so your edits go live.

Mixing methods is fine: capture the corners with the tool to get close, then hand-edit a single value to perfect it. For most maps, though, the visual tool alone is more than accurate enough.
