The Markup tab exposes the user to the tools needed to "markup" the map with customizable map objects.
When the user clicks on the Markup tab the following toolbar will appear. Use the Markup Polygon button to add a graphical polygon to the map.
The left six buttons are "sticky" buttons. When clicked they appear to be pushed in. Only one of these six buttons can be selected at a time. They dictate which markup feature options to display directly below the markup toolbar.
Note: Although the markup polygon option provides the user a way to add polygon features to the map, these features cannot be saved and re-used later. Once the user closes the mapping application all of the markup polygon features will be deleted.
After the user selects the markup polygon button the following input boxes will appear:
