Frequently Asked Queries
Can I use styling settings?
Yes. Future updates will preserve attribute tables and standard boundaries while offering basic color customization options.
Are multiple files supported inside the ZIP?
Yes, standard ESRI files (.shp, .dbf, .shx, .prj) must be bundled into a single ZIP archive to construct complete maps.
Will coordinate projections be handled automatically?
Yes. The backend will read the coordinate boundaries from projection files (.prj) and project them to the standard spherical coordinates required by KML.
