Interface Tour: the Globe, Navbar & Workflow Rail

3 min read

Remote Miner is a single screen: a 3D map (the Globe) that never goes away, a workflow rail on the left that drives your analyses, a navbar on top for everything account- and output-related, and floating windows for detailed work. This page tells you where everything lives.

πŸ“· Screenshot pending β€” full interface with four numbered callouts β€” β‘  Globe β‘‘ workflow rail β‘’ navbar β‘£ a floating window.

β‘  The Globe #

The map is your permanent workspace β€” every Visual renders here.

  • Search any location by name with the search box, or navigate freely.
  • Map controls: zoom, scale, fullscreen, map style switcher and tilt β€” plus three output buttons that act on what’s currently displayed:
      β€“ the printer icon captures a screenshot of all your active insights;
      β€“ the export button sends the active insights to your Cloud;
      β€“ for PCA insights with the report open, the PCA matrix report button generates the component report (early access).
  • When a Visual is active you also get: the legend/color bar for the active layer, a coordinates readout, and the layers manager to reorder or toggle what’s displayed.
  • Pixel values β€” activate the pixel-value control on the map first, then click anywhere on the layer to read the values at that point.
  • Right-click anywhere on the imagery to see the full spectrum of that point for the active instrument β€” all its band values in a row.

β‘‘ The workflow rail (left) #

The rail is the heart of the new interface β€” analyses are built here, step by step.

  • New visual (play button) β€” starts the guided analysis: Area β†’ Instrument β†’ Insights β†’ Filter Imagery β†’ Visualize. See Your First Visual in Three Minutes.
  • Areas β€” your saved areas of interest: create, edit, share, delete.
  • Instruments β€” the imagery sources available to you.
  • Insights β€” your insight catalog (public + your own).
  • Stacks β€” your insight bundles.
  • Masks β€” your pixel filters.
  • Trained AI Models β€” your machine-learning models and their training history.
  • Workflows β€” your saved analyses, ready to re-run.

Clicking a rail icon opens its panel; the breadcrumb at the top (Workspace β€Ί Visuals) shows where you are. The panel collapses to keep the map clear.

β‘’ The navbar (top) #

Left to right:

  • Progress ring β€” appears while exports or model trainings are running.
  • Cloud β€” your storage and exports. The badge counts completed exports waiting for you.
  • Spectral Signatures β€” the spectral library (upload, manage, compare spectra).
  • Warning icon β€” appears only when something went wrong; click for the error messages.
  • High Resolution β€” order commercial imagery or upload your own (availability depends on your plan).
  • Usage β€” your company’s platform usage at a glance; trial accounts see a progress bar with the percentage consumed.
  • Library β€” the reference catalog of all insights and instruments, with detailed descriptions.
  • Settings β€” global display settings: resampling, color palettes, measurement units, active masks and masking mode.
  • Your avatar β€” opens the profile drawer: My Account, Y-Stats (your usage statistics) and Releases (what’s new).

β‘£ Floating windows #

Detailed work β€” building an insight, managing orders, browsing the Cloud β€” happens in floating windows you can move, maximize and close. Two things worth knowing:

  • The book icon in a window’s title bar opens the manual page for exactly that window.
  • Windows don’t block the map: you can keep exploring the Globe while a window is open.

Best practices #

  • Keep the rail collapsed while reviewing results β€” the map is the product.
  • If you lose a result, check Workflows (saved analyses) and the Cloud (exports) before re-running: re-running consumes credits.
  • Learn the Settings panel early: palette and stretching defaults affect every Visual you render.
