Area Maps

Area maps show your group's or area's geography on an interactive map that can be placed on any page. If your group belongs to an Area (for example Kent or Staffordshire), the map can display every group in that area with coloured boundaries. Where an area also manages footpath maintenance, the map shows which parishes have a footpath observer and which are vacant.

Everything is managed from Admin → System Settings → Maps. The two guides below cover it in turn.

Configuring your area map

• Clicking a legend item opens the popup for that group
• All links open in a new tab
