Create a project and choose its location

Before measuring obstacles, Azimutis asks you to set the survey location. This position locates the project and is used to determine the sun paths shown during measurement.

Start an assessment

1. Open Azimutis on your phone.
2. On the home screen, tap Start analysis under Analyze a new site.
3. If the app requests camera and location access, review the requests and grant the permissions needed for the survey.
4. The project location screen opens.

Depending on your situation, the app may ask you to create an account or sign in before creating a new project.

Set the position on the map

When the map is available:

1. Find the position from which you will carry out the survey.
2. Tap the exact measurement position on the map. You can also use address search where available.
3. Check the marker position.
4. Tap Start site survey to continue to the measurement screen.

Important: choose the phone’s position during the survey, not simply the center of the roof or plot, unless they are the same location.

If the satellite map does not load

GPS and map display are separate functions. Azimutis provides a way to start the survey even when the basemap cannot load.

• If a GPS position is available, the app may show its coordinates and an accuracy indication.
• Use Start survey when the button is available and enabled.
• You can adjust the location on the map later.

If location is disabled or unavailable, follow the on-screen instructions.

Survey later

Complete the site survey later lets you prepare an assessment before a visit, or proceed directly with analyses when the site has no shading. It requires a signed-in account, a selected location and the relevant access permissions. The assessment then uses an assumption without a measured horizon profile.

See Create an assessment without a horizon survey to choose this workflow or add a survey later.
