When I zoom in on the map, it appears pixelated and not completely clear. What is the solution? And how do I make it not pixelated even though my zoom is not great?

Hi ​@alaaelddin 

Thanks for your question! The basemap in Planet Explorer is intended to help orient you to an AOI (area of interest) and not for analysis. In order to perform any type of analysis on a basemap, you can purchase one through the basemaps app. Or to get a higher resolution preview/ image , search for PlanetScope or SkySat scenes in Planet Explorer. 

 

Here are some relevant Planet University courses that may help you:

Intro to Planet Explorer

Intro to Planet Basemaps

Intro to PlanetScope

Intro to SkySat and the Tasking Dashboard
