Line & Polygon Layers

From version 2.0.0 of MapIt on you can collect Polygon and Line features additionally to Point features.

The whole process is very simple and allows the collection of multiple features per layer. Without valid “Line & Polygon Layers” or “MapIt Pro” extension the facility is limited to two features per layer with no more than 10 vertices.
