Controlling Feature Visibility ​

Quick Answer ​

Visibility controls are split across three tabs, each opened by its own chat-bar button: the Sites tab for site-type visibility and clustering, the Layers tab for Site Sonar and Shapes overlays, and the Base Map tab for POI and map-feature visibility on supported themes.

Where Visibility Controls Live ​

Sites Tab ​

The Sites tab (store icon in the chat bar) is where you control:

  • Sites master visibility, collapse/expand, and site-type visibility
  • Smart Clustering

Layers Tab ​

The Layers tab is where you control:

  • overlay visibility for Site Sonar and Shapes
  • your active/saved Sites views

Base Map Tab ​

The Base Map tab is where you control:

  • map theme
  • POI visibility on supported raster themes
  • map feature visibility like roads, labels, water, and boundaries
  • traffic / transit / bicycle data layers

Site Visibility ​

In the Sites tab, Zeus.ai currently supports:

  • a master visibility toggle for sites
  • a collapse / expand control for the section
  • site-type and category-level controls through the nested site controls
  • additional visual options through per-category option panels

Map Feature Visibility ​

On supported raster themes, the Base Map tab's controls can show options for:

  • All POIs
  • Businesses
  • Parks
  • Healthcare
  • Government
  • Attractions
  • Schools
  • Worship
  • Roads
  • Highways
  • Local Roads
  • Water
  • Road Labels
  • Place Labels
  • Map Icons
  • Transit Labels
  • Boundaries
  • Terrain Features

Important:

  • These controls are reduced or unavailable on vector themes
  • If you cannot find POI or feature toggles, check the active map theme first

Common Use Cases ​

Reduce Clutter ​

  • hide POIs you do not need
  • reduce labels
  • turn off unnecessary overlays

Focus On One Site Group ​

  • show only the site types relevant to the current analysis
  • combine site visibility with filters for tighter control

Prepare Screenshots ​

  • hide unnecessary map elements
  • keep only the relevant sites or overlays visible
  • use a cleaner basemap when explaining one feature

Troubleshooting ​

Can’t Find A Visibility Toggle ​

  • check the Sites tab for site-type visibility
  • check the Base Map tab for map-feature visibility
  • switch themes if the current theme hides raster-only feature controls

Feature Won’t Hide ​

  • toggle it off and on again
  • verify you are changing the correct layer or category
  • refresh the page if state looks stale

Everything Looks Too Busy ​

  • reduce visible site types
  • turn off optional map features
  • use filters before adding overlays
