    Frequently Asked Questions

    Answers to the most common questions about this tool

    1What types of environmental maps can I generate?

    The platform offers 80+ satellite layer types organized in 12 categories: utility (RGB true color, high-res RGB), land use (NDVI, NDWI, NDMI, soil erosion, soil carbon), risks (land surface temperature, urban heat islands), microclimate, urbanization (imperviousness, accessibility to cities), biodiversity (MSA, protected areas, tree cover, biodiversity intactness), carbon (forest GHG flux, cumulative tree cover gain), land cover, sensors, water (plastic input in rivers, wetlands), air quality (PM2.5), and socioeconomic (GDP, GDP per capita). The full catalog with previews is available on the map type selection page.

    2How does the generation process work?

    The process has 3 steps. First, draw a polygon on the interactive map, search for an address, or import a KML/GeoJSON file. Second, browse map types by category, select the layers you need, and pick reference years (from 2017 onward) — some layers support delta maps with year pairs or custom date ranges. Third, the system generates maps in the background: you see real-time progress and can download each GeoTIFF as soon as it completes, without waiting for all layers.

    3What download and report formats are available?

    Each map is downloadable as a GeoTIFF for any GIS software (QGIS, ArcGIS). You can batch-download all maps as a ZIP. You can also generate professional reports in PDF, HTML, or DOCX format with AI-written narratives, color-coded category pages, territorial KPIs, a statistical summary, and a customizable cover page with title, site name, and notes.

    4Is there a limit on the area size?

    Without registration you can analyze areas up to 20 hectares. With a free account and credits, there is no enforced maximum. Areas over 1,800 hectares show a warning about longer processing times. Credit cost is proportional: per-km2 unit cost multiplied by the polygon area.

    5How much does it cost to generate maps?

    On signup you receive 10 free credits, no credit card required. Each map consumes credits based on the layer type and area size. Additional credit packages start from 19.90 EUR. PDF/HTML/DOCX report generation is always free and does not consume credits.

    6Can I share results with colleagues?

    Yes. Every analysis generates a shareable link. Recipients can view all maps and download the report at no credit cost. This makes it easy to collaborate on Environmental Impact Assessments and sustainability reports.

    7Can I use the reports for CSRD/ESRS compliance?

    Yes. Reports contain environmental KPIs from official Copernicus data (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, CLMS, ERA5) and Resource Watch datasets. AI narratives contextualize the data for sustainability disclosure. Metrics align with ESRS E4 (biodiversity) and the TNFD LEAP framework, making them suitable as supporting documentation for environmental due diligence.

    8What categories are available for map layers?

    The 12 categories are: Utility, Risks, Microclimate, Land Use, Urbanization, Biodiversity, Carbon, Land Cover, Sensors, Water, Air Quality, and Socioeconomic. Each category groups related layer types with a color-coded icon for easy navigation. You can filter the catalog by category to quickly find the layers relevant to your analysis.
