Embed points and shapes by loading a GeoJSON file. The styling will be adopted from the GeoJSON file; however, you can also manually adjust the styles. GeoJSON elements without a user-defined style will be displayed in the standard mapz.com format.
In the event that the shapes are not already existent from a GIS system like QGIS (Quantum GIS) or a similar system, you can create the shapes in GeoJSON format using the mapz drawing tools. Simply plot the points by hand or let the mapz search function automatically populate the housing areas, country boundaries, administrative boundaries, or postal zones. Afterwards, you can download the GeoJSON file to your hard drive. You can find more information in our Interactive Maps and Data Integration documentation.
