Map‑based Area Calculator — Easy Polygon Drawing & CSV Upload
Usage Guide: A Tool to Create Polygons on the Map and Calculate Their Area
This tool is a simple and convenient web application that lets you freely click on a map to draw a polygon and automatically calculate the enclosed area.
Additionally, you can upload a CSV file containing latitude and longitude coordinates that you’ve prepared in advance to instantly compute the area!
Drawing a Polygon Directly on the Map
Drag or zoom the map to display your target area.
Click on the map to plot a red dot.
As you continue clicking, the dots connect and form a polygon.
After placing at least three points, the area (in square meters, m²) is automatically calculated and displayed!
Key features:
- Area updates in real time
- Add as many points as you want
- Expand or move the area by navigating the map
Uploading an Area from a CSV File
You can also draw the area automatically by uploading a CSV file with latitude and longitude pairs!
CSV File Format:
latitude,longitude
35.681236,139.767125
35.682500,139.770000
35.680000,139.769000
Upload Steps
- Click the “Choose File” button at the top of the page.
- Select your CSV file containing latitude and longitude coordinates.
- Points will automatically plot and form a polygon, with the area displayed.
- The map will pan and zoom to fit the uploaded area.
To Reset the Drawing
Click the “Clear” button to reset and remove:
- Drawn polygon
- Plotted points
- Displayed area
This returns the page to its initial state.
Notes / Caution
The area unit is square meters (m²).
Make sure your latitude and longitude inputs are correct (CSV formatting errors may occur).
The map tiles are provided by OpenStreetMap.
