Draw one polygon and export GeoJSON

Direct answer

What does this mapping tool do?

This page uses MapLibre rather than Google Maps. Click to create one polygon, close it after at least three vertices, and download the GeoJSON before refreshing. It does not edit vertices or draw multiple shapes.

This page uses MapLibre

The route reflects a common search phrase, but the interactive canvas is MapLibre, not the Google Maps drawing library.

  • The basemap uses the site's configured map resources
  • The generated file is standard GeoJSON
  • Using the output in another platform is a separate integration step

Draw and close one polygon

Click the map to add vertices. With at least three vertices, Close polygon appends the first coordinate to the end of the ring and stops accepting more clicks.

  • Before closing, two or more vertices preview as a LineString
  • After closing, the preview becomes one Polygon
  • Reset clears every vertex and starts a new draft

Current editing limits

The tool does not drag or delete individual vertices, undo the last click, reopen a closed ring, attach properties, or create multiple polygons.

  • Zoom and position the map before precise clicks
  • Reset and redraw when a vertex is wrong
  • Use the full editor when the project needs multiple editable shapes or styling

GeoJSON download

After the polygon is closed, the download contains one FeatureCollection with one Polygon and an empty properties object.

  • Coordinates are written as longitude then latitude
  • No KML, GPX, CSV, image, or embed output is generated
  • The file is not automatically imported into MapsMaker

Session and accuracy notes

Vertices are held in browser component state and disappear on refresh. Clicking a visual basemap does not make a cadastral, legal, or survey-accurate boundary.

  • Download before leaving the page
  • Check the GeoJSON against an authoritative source when accuracy matters
  • Use the polygon checker for a basic preview, not full topology validation

Frequently asked questions

Is this Google Maps?
No. The interactive map on this page uses MapLibre; the route name targets the familiar search phrase.
How many polygons can I draw?
One polygon at a time.
Can I move or remove one vertex?
No. Reset and redraw, or use a fuller editing workflow.
How many vertices are required?
At least three before Close polygon is enabled.
What does the download contain?
One GeoJSON FeatureCollection with one Polygon and an empty properties object.
Can I export KML or GPX here?
No. This page downloads GeoJSON only.
Will the polygon survive a refresh?
No. Download it first.
