Drawing Points

The Point tool creates marker features at specific locations on the map. Points are useful for marking addresses, landmarks, waypoints, or any discrete location.

1. Select a layer in the Layers panel (or create one)
2. Click the Point tool in the toolbar
3. Click anywhere on the map to place a point
4. Continue clicking to add more points, or switch tools

Points can be displayed with different marker shapes or custom icons. To change the marker style:

1. Click on the layer containing your points
2. Open the layer style settings
3. Choose a marker shape: Circle, Square, Triangle, Diamond, Star, or Pin
4. Alternatively, upload a custom icon image

• Shape — Choose from 6 built-in marker shapes
• Custom Icon — Upload an image or provide a URL
• Icon Size — Adjust from 16px to 64px
• Icon Anchor — Position the icon center or bottom at the point location
• Fill Color — Color the inside of shape markers
• Stroke Color — Color the outline of shape markers

To move a point after placing it:

1. Switch to the Selection tool
2. Click on the point to select it
3. Drag the point to its new location

When a point is selected, the properties panel shows:

• Latitude and longitude coordinates
• Name and description fields
• Individual styling options (override layer style)
