Drawing your own custom map from scratch has never been easier. Spotzi’s interface allows you to add points, lines, and polygons to every map — both manually and via the use of an external file (such as a KML). In this case, we will show you more on how to create a blank map and to draw your points, lines and polygons manually.
1. Go to your home screen and open the BLANK MAP option to start.
2. Name your map and click CREATE MAP.
3. After your map has been created, click OPEN DASHBOARD. In here, you are able to draw points, lines and polygons.
1. In order to draw points, lines or polygons on your newly created map, you have to go to the MAP STYLE EDITOR in the top bar.
2. In the map style editor you get an overview of all the map layers. To add new points, lines or polygons to your map. Because this is a new map with one layer attached, click the only layer in the left sidebar.
3. Select the map feature you want to add (point, line, or polygon). In this case we select a point.
4. Begin clicking on your map to add your feature.
5. Confirm your additions by clicking the SAVE button.
6. Now repeat these steps to add more points to your map. Click DRAW ON MAP. If you’re unsatisfied with the location of any of your features you can simply drag and drop your point, line or polygon to a new spot on your map.
Spotzi's map editing capabilities allow users to edit a map’s features directly, or to add content such as PDF URLs and images to each feature.
1. Open your map and click the point, line, or polygon you’d like to edit.
2. An infowindow will pop up; click the small data icon to edit the data attached to that feature.
