Highlighting certain areas on the map can be done in various ways. One of them is adding a custom polygon. Follow the instructions below to learn how to create your own polygon.

Once you have found the location where you would like to place a polygon, access the menu on the top left. Here, from the third tab, press the side arrow to select ‘’Polygon’’ from the dropdown menu.



You can click anywhere on the map where you want your polygon to start. Your polygon will need at least three anchor points, but you can always decide to add more. When you are happy with the shape created, simply click again on the last created anchor point for it to end.

 

A styling menu will appear on the top right. Here you can select the fill color and transparency, outline color, outline transparency and width, select a pattern, and toggle on rounded corners.
