Switching to satellite view

How to see the roof and yard on a property, and why the map matches your light or dark theme automatically.

One click for imagery

The map view toggle sits in the corner of the map and switches between the roadmap and satellite imagery. Satellite is one click away whenever you need to see the actual roof and yard, not just streets and labels.

Street names stay visible over the imagery, because that’s still how you confirm the pin is standing on the right property.

It follows your theme

The roadmap view matches whichever theme you’re using, light or dark, the same as every other page in findproperly. Satellite imagery itself isn’t restyled — there’s no point recolouring a photograph.

The toggle lives on the search map, before you’ve bought a report — switch back to the roadmap whenever street names matter more than the view of the roof.

Next: try it from any property’s map on findproperly.co.za/search.
