Drag cards to reorder or move between folders; the eye toggles a pin on the map.
Create a route
Trade & barter routes between two places — one-way or both ways. Duplicates merge automatically.
Your routes
Photorealistic 3D = the same real trees / buildings / terrain as Google Earth. Easiest way (no Google key): in your Cesium ion Asset Depot click “Add to my assets” on Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles (asset 2275207), use an ion token with assets:read (Data tab), then click Photorealistic 3D above.
Or get a key at Google Cloud → Maps Platform, enable the Map Tiles API, and paste it here. Stored in this browser only.
Drag to spin, scroll to zoom, right-drag (or ctrl-drag) to tilt — just like Google Earth Pro.
🛠 Admin — live publishing
Edit freely all day — the public map only changes when you Publish changes to live and then deploy. Drafts never reach the live site.

Export & backup
Export for Google Earth Pro, or back up / restore your dashboard.
Bakes only the current workspace into a clean globe-dashboard.html. For tiag.app: upload the folder & share the link ending in ?view (read-only). For the member ZIP: drop this file into the Globe folder and re-zip.
🔒 Private workspaces (members/contributors with real locations) are blocked from Publish and excluded from the standalone export — they can never leak into a public file.
One self-contained .html with all your places/folders/routes embedded — copy it to any computer and double-click to launch (needs internet for the map). Your work also auto-saves in this browser.
Copies an <iframe> snippet that embeds a clean, read-only globe (no panel/sign-in) into any web page. Uses ?embed&view — point it at your live tiag.app URL once deployed.
Loads a PII-free members file (coarse location + tier only) into a private TIAG Members workspace. No names/emails/addresses are ever stored. Don't publish this workspace.
Live sync — active once a backend is connected (set TIAG_BACKEND.base in the code). Until then it explains setup; use the import button above.

The globe already works without a token. A valid ion token (one with asset access) swaps in Cesium World Terrain so oceans get the live water shimmer.
⬆ Bulk import locations
Paste a CSV (or copy straight from a spreadsheet) with a header row — each row becomes a place. Give it latitude & longitude (fastest) or an address (auto-geocoded). A folder column auto-creates toggleable folders.
Your profile
Your full member profile — tier, region, avatar, connections — syncs from your TIAGcommunities.org membership once connected.
Choose an icon
Pick an emoji, or upload a small image — it’s resized to a tidy icon and stored with your data.
➕ Suggest a place
Know a farm, garden, market or community that belongs on the map? Send it in — an admin reviews every submission before it appears on the live map.

Draw a barter / trade route from here to another place. Pick an existing place, or type a new address / coordinates to create one.
Add any labels you like — “Why I love it”, “Owner”, “Practices”, “Visited”… every place can be totally different.
Market days, workshops, gatherings — title + date (+ optional time). Visitors get an “Add to calendar” link; upcoming ones show under the 📅 This week filter.
Set a TIAG role to make this a community anchor, hub, market, or crew. The 4 demo hubs (Food Forest, Marketplace, Farm, Garden) must be Certified to count toward a community’s Official status.
