Acres provides thousands of data overlays in the Layer Library, but users may also upload their own data with a simple drag and drop system. Private layers allow you to bring your own data into Acres and instantly visualize it on the map.
To upload a layer, follow these steps:
- Open the “Layers” tab on the left hand menu
- Select the green “Upload” button at the top of the Layers menu
- Drag and drop your desired file into the upload box.
- Our supported file types for drag and drop upload include: kml, .kmx, .geojson, and zipped shapefile (including .shp, .shx, .dbf, and .prj)
- Wait for a successful upload.
- Acres will notify you of a successful file upload with a brief message. Typically, it will take 5 minutes to upload your desired file, depending on its size. Refresh your screen to find your new data layer in Acres!
