Choose Your Area of Interest

1. In the Map View, pan and zoom the map until the blue grid covers the area you want to analyze.
2. This grid defines the scoring area for your custom heat map and scorecard.

Describe Your Ideal Location

1. In the left-side panel, enter a natural-language description of your ideal location.

Example: “A neighbourhood with four-star Mexican restaurants and a park.”

ScribbleSight uses AI and real-world data to interpret your input and match it to relevant map features.
