Download polygons from the map

Download every polygon of a map layer, or only the filtered ones, as a .geojson or .kml file.

Updated

You can download every polygon of a map layer in one file, as .geojson or .kml. If you filter the table first, the file for that layer holds only the polygons left on the map. Use a computer: the layer's ⋯ button appears when you point at the layer in the legend.

Download every polygon of a layer

  1. Open the page with the map.
  2. In the map's legend, hover over the layer (for example, Sites) and click ⋯.
  3. Choose Download, then Download .geojson or Download .kml.

The ⋯ menu of the Sites layer in the legend, with Download open: Download .geojson and Download .kml

You get one file with every polygon of that layer.

Download only some polygons

When a table and a map are on the same page, the map layer that shows the same records as the table shares its filter: what you filter out of the table also leaves that layer, and its download holds only what is left. Other layers keep all their polygons.

  1. In the table, click Filter and add the condition you need, for example only the sites whose Status is Planted.
  2. Check the map: the Sites layer now shows only those sites. To zoom to them, open the layer's ⋯ menu and choose Zoom to fit.
  3. In the same ⋯ menu, choose Download and the format.

You can also filter from the map: in the layer's ⋯ menu, Filter opens the same filter as the table.

To download every polygon again, remove the filter before you download.

A layer without polygons downloads what it shows instead: its lines, or else its points.

Which format to choose

  • .kml: opens straight in Google Earth.
  • .geojson: opens in QGIS, ArcGIS and most GIS software. If you need a Shapefile, open the .geojson in QGIS and export it as a Shapefile.

To get the file ready for an EUDR statement or a carbon verifier, see Prepare boundaries for the EUDR or a verifier.
