Digitals

A "digital" is a digital file such as a text, table or image. You can add digitals to your project and link them with source objects or entities. For example, you can write a comment about a specific person or place and link it with the corresponding entity.

Supported digital file formats:

Geovistory does not yet support images. It is our intention to do so soon.
