Polygons are defined in a vector KML file that has been created in Google Earth or a similar application.
Areas are limited to a maximum of 1000 points and must be a simple area shape with the points defining
the perimeter and with no internal boundaries.
The area can be set to invisible but will still be available for use in the analysis.
The area must be assigned to a map Layer that has been previously been created, see section 2.4 for
information on map Layers.
The area may be rendered on the map as a solid coloured polygon or as just a line on the polygon
perimeter. The colour of the area is set by the user.
To delete an area click on the symbol in the main window
Large numbers of Areas may be uploaded in a single operation using the ‘Mass Upload’ link. This displays

Figure 74: Area Mass Upload
If the filename of the uploaded Areas matches the name of a Base Site then the colour of the Area shall be
set to the assigned colour for that Base Site. This is particularly useful if Areas are being uploaded to show
the predicted coverage areas for each Base Site.
