The map polygons drawing & GPS capture via JavaScript feature of Resco enables users of Resco Mobile CRM and Microsoft Power Apps to record map polygons by walking around their perimeter or by drawing them directly on the map. The polygons are saved in GeoJSON format and can include excluded areas. The areas can be displayed in the app; you can calculate the total area in a unit of your choice. Importantly, this implementation does not require expensive GIS licenses, (e.g. Esri’s ArcGIS).

It includes a comprehensive set of mapping tools, which enable users to create precise polygon shapes directly over maps via multiple methods:

Automated GPS tracking while moving around a perimeter
Manual drawing with touch/stylus

The system automatically calculates and displays the enclosed area size in real-time, supporting multiple measurement units.

Availability

The feature is delivered as a JavaScript bundle, available here. It requires release 18.2 or later and is available on demand because it requires third-party API keys from map providers. Contact your business development manager at Resco for more information.
