A CSV file or Excel file that already contains a geometry has all the information necessary to draw point, lines or polygons on a map. It can thus be directly uploaded to your Spotzi account. A geometry in a CSV or Excel file looks like this:

|---|---|---|
| Point | the_geom | POINT (-74.0093857886298 40.71646850931738) |

| longitude | 40.71646850931738 | |
| Line | the_geom | 0105000...3634440 |
