Creating geozones (Google maps)

Creating geozones (Google maps)

First, in order do do any operations with Geozone, we have to create one. There are two possible, easy ways to do it using Google tools.

Lets do it using Google maps:

Step 1:

As soon as you turn on Google maps, click menu button:



New, menu sidebar will pop up. Now select ''Your places'' option.



New sub menu will open in which select: ''MAPS'' and then ''CREATE MAP''

Step 2:

New page will be loaded in which you should select ''Draw a line'' option (under the search bar) and then ''Add line or shape''



As soon as you connect all of your dots, a new polygon will be created and Google will promt you to write down polygon name and description.

It is important to add name and description for your geozone so that everything is in orderly fashion and it would be easy to understand which geozone is which, going further down the line (when setting up in FMSET)

Step 3:

Now we have to export our created geozone. To do that, under map options select ''Export to KML/KMZ''



A new window will pop up asking on how it should be exported.

Export only layer where your newly defined Geozone is. Tick the box where it says ''Export to a .KML file'', and click download:



For further steps you should follow Setting up Geozone using XDM tutorial to proceed.
