# Troubleshooting: bundle uploaded to a new site is no longer aligned or geo-registered

## Introduction

### Problem description

All Datasets in a Site were manually aligned. The Bundle was then downloaded from the site and uploaded to a new instance/site. However, the datasets are no longer aligned or geo-registered.

## Troubleshooting procedure

### 1 Check if the alignment was saved

After aligning your data manually in the **Dataset Alignment**, you must store the changes by clicking the **Save**button in the bottom right. If you do not store these changes, your alignment will not be written to the site or the bundle file. To check if the alignment was stored:

1. Open the bundle file in WinRAR.
2. Navigate to the dataset folder of each dataset.
3. Check that the alignment.json files of each dataset have the same "parent" entry, and non zero values for the "transform" entry.
4. If no alignment information is stored in the bundle, the only solution is to align the data manually again.

### 2 Ensure that the new site base point matches the previous one

If the site base point of your previous site (where the bundle was downloaded from) does not match the base point of your new site, your data will no longer be correctly geo-located. Look up which site base point was stored in the bundle file:

1. Open the bundle file in WinRAR.
2. Navigate to any dataset folder and open the alignment.json file.
3. Look for entry that says "parent"

4. The value "spatial_reference" tells you which system was used, and values "tx" and "ty" tell you the coordinates of the point. Make sure that the newly created site has the matching values.
5. If not, adapt them and the geo-location will be restored.

A dataset is a piece of a site, the result of a continuous recording with a NavVis mapping device or the result of an imported point cloud. Datasets can contain panoramic images and point clouds.

Site refers to a complex of one or more buildings displayed in a NavVis IVION instance. For example, the Munich Airport would be one site. An instance can contain multiple sites. Each site consists of one or more datasets.

Bundles, specifically referred to as Alignment Bundles in NavVis IVION, are collections of related datasets that have been grouped together after being aligned. The primary purpose of creating an alignment bundle is to save the relative locations of these datasets to each other, enabling coordinated management and use within the system
