Create areas or locations and organize them as hierarchical tags.
A location is shown as a shape on the map when selected. Initially each location is represented as a square or circle and can be changed to a rectangle or ellipse by adjusting the shape’s width and/or height.
A location can also be created from an OpenStreetMap region (city/country) polygon. To achieve this, first make sure the max polygon points parameter is large enough (some country polygons use more than 150,000 points).
Select preferred map data from various providers. Some will provide additional layers (satellite view etc.) which you can toggle.
