GeoSpatial

To add a GeoSpatial object:

Click the Add link next to the GeoSpatial field:

The 'Heurist Digitizer' displays:

Existing geographic objects will be displayed on the map and may be edited.

To clear the map at any time, click Clear Shape.
You can define a geographic object by either:

drawing the shape on the map
entering coordinates directly

To draw the shape:

Select a shape from the Dropdown:

Draw the shape on the map, as follows:

Shape	Description	Sample
Marker	This creates a single point on the map. To enter a Marker, click anywhere on the map.
Polyline	This creates a continuous line composed of one or more line segments. To enter a polyline, click on the map for the endpoint of each segment of polyline.
Polygon	This creates a flat shape consisting of straight lines that are joined to form a closed multi-sided shape. To enter a Polygon, click on the map for each side of the shape. The shape is automatically closed.
Rectangle	This creates a rectangle shape. To enter a rectangle, click on the map for two points of the side of the rectangle. Then drag the points to create the shape.
Circle	This creates a circle shape. To enter a circle, click once on the map to indicate the centre of the circle, then click again on the circumference of the circle.

Tip. To avoid having to navigate repeatedly from the world map to the area in which you are working, click Remember this view button; the map will reopen to the current area every time until you reset it.

To enter latitude/longitude coordinates:

Click on an object type, enter them directly into the Coordinates box:

Click Apply Coordinates.

When you have defined your shape, click Save to close the dialog. The coordinates are added to the field.
