Improvements 🙌🏻¶

• We continue to make improvements to our date selectors, users can now enter human readable dates, i.e. “Jan 10 2022” in addition to the traditional month-day-year (01-10-2022) format.

Bug Fixes 🐛¶

• We’ve fixed an issue with our date picker in tablet devices.

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

• It is now easier to select your time of interest in Explorer, especially for date ranges beyond two months. You can now enter your start and end date ranges as well as select them on the calendar.
• We have made improvements to Compare mode. You can now see the search field while in Compare mode. If you'd like to search for another location, you can do so faster now.
• If you try to place an order clipped to a complex geometry, the order will fail. We now include a fail safe in Explorer that disables the clipping option if your geometry is too complex. This way, you can place an order that will go through successfully.
• We have changed the defaults when you place an order. Harmonization will no longer be on by default; this tool is best applied if someone is ordering PlanetScope data from various constellations (for example, SuperDove and Dove-R); this situation does not apply to most people because SuperDoves provide full coverage. The clipping tool will remain on by default.

Bug Fixes 🐛¶

• Small AOIs will now show their area correctly up to 3 decimal places instead of 0 km2.
• We've fixed an issue that led to the application crashing when SkySat items were ordered as Hosted Data.

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

• The Import Dialog is updated to provide improved validation and assistance when a geometry needs to be simplified.
• If you upload a multi-feature file (multiple geometries in one file), all features display on the map. You can easily inspect your selections with a geo reference instead of a thumbnail. You can choose to select or deselect all.
• If your geometry contains more than 500 vertices or if it contains self intersecting points, you are presented with simplified alternatives. These alternatives are supported when selected.
• Measurements no longer display as abbreviating measurements. For example, 1,500 km2 instead of 1.5k km2.

Bug Fixes 🐛¶

• This release fixed an issue when moving Hosted Data items to folders. Now only selected data is moved.
• There were issues reordering past orders that were not clipped. Now you can now reorder without issues.

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

• You can now clip Hosted Data orders if you have clipping permissions.
• You can re-order a previous order from the Orders tab.
• When searching for a specific address, a pin marker indicates a single point at the searched location.

Bug Fixes 🐛¶

• When in compare mode, compare cards did not correctly display the timestamp.
• Searching for locations could result in a default selection of the first item in the result list instead of the desired selection from the list.

Improvements 🙌🏻¶

KMZ File Support¶

The Planet Explorer Importer now supports KMZ files to specify an area of interest (AOI). KMZ files are Zip-compressed .KML files that store map locations viewable in various geographic information systems (GIS) applications, including Planet Explorer.
