All fields here are optional. VisionScaper works without them, using free map data.

On Settings → VisionScaper, find Google Maps API key (optional).

• It turns on address autocomplete powered by Google. Enable Places API (New) for that.
• It turns on “Explore in 3D”. Enable Maps JavaScript API for that.
• Restrict the key to your website.
• Without a key, addresses autocomplete from OpenStreetMap.

Follow Google’s current instructions to create the key, then paste it in. Saved keys show as dots.

• Field: Google server key for the Route planner (optional).
• Used for driving distances (Routes API) and nearby restaurants and gas prices (Places API (New)). These are looked up from your server.
• Use a key restricted to your server’s IP address. If empty, the key above is used.

• Field: OSRM routing server (optional).
• Without a Google key, driving distances can come from an OSRM server you host, for example https://osrm.example.com. Only a web address starting with https:// is accepted.
• With neither, the planner estimates road miles from straight-line distance.

Contractors tap houses on a street map to log visits. By default it uses OpenStreetMap, which is fine for light use. For heavy use or satellite imagery, sign up with a map tile provider and paste its address:

1. Map tile address (optional): must contain {z}, {x} and {y}.
2. Map credit line: shown on the map, as your provider requires.
3. Deepest zoom level: usually 19 to 20.

Connecticut addresses always use the state’s 3-inch imagery. Everywhere else uses an ArcGIS image service. The default is USGS NAIP, public domain, about 2 ft per pixel. Fields:

• Image service address
• Imagery credit line
• Imagery resolution (feet per pixel): used to tell contractors how precise traced edges are.

At 2 ft per pixel, small features should be measured with a tape in the Landscape Plan wizard.

• Start with no keys. Add one only when you need the feature.
• Keep keys restricted. An open key can be used by others.

• Autocomplete still looks like OpenStreetMap. The key may be missing, mistyped or not authorized for the right Google service.
• Explore in 3D is missing. Enable Maps JavaScript API for the key.
• Tiles do not load. The address must include all three placeholders.

• WordPress settings: business name, email and region
• Contractor tools, texting and payments settings
• System requirements
