Q:How do I draw a polygon or area on the map?
Select the Polygon tool from the toolbar, then click on the map to place corner points. Double-click (or click the first point again) to close the shape. You can then name it and set a style.
Q:Can I draw a route or path?
Yes. Select the LineString/Path tool and click to add waypoints along your route. Double-click to finish. The result exports as a KML LineString.

No. Your map is only in your browser memory. Download the KML file before closing the tab to save your work permanently — there is no account or cloud storage.

Yes. Upload your KML file and the existing features appear on the map for you to move, reshape, rename, or delete.
Q:What file size limits apply?
You can draw as many features as needed — there is no hard limit. The resulting KML download will be proportional to the number and complexity of your features.
