Description and example of a GeoJSON file
GeoJSON is a file format for displaying geospatial data in online maps.
A GeoJSON file contains annotated geographic data in a JSON-based format.
Note: The colours of lines and shapes (polygons, etc.) are not saved in a GeoJSON file.
An example use for a GeoJSON file is: you can transfer the data for a marker location from Scribble Maps into ArcGIS (Esri).
Types of overlays
This section states which types of overlays:
- Can be exported.
- Can't be exported.
- Can be partially exported.
When you export a single overlay/folder, you can export the GeoJSON data for these overlay types:
- Shapes - Rectangle, Circle, Polygon.
- Lines - Freeform line, Straight line, Precise curved line, Flight line.
- Markers.
The data won't be usable for these overlay types:
- Isometric shapes.
- Image overlays.
For Labels, the location will be exported to GeoJSON as a marker.The "name" and "description" data will be attributes.For Dimension lines, the dimension components won't be exported to GeoJSON.Only the straight line component will be exported.

- (Optional) If the Layers Panel isn't open on the right side of the browser window, click the vertical bar.
- Find the overlay/folder's row.
- Click on the Three Dots Icon.
A pop-up menu will appear.
- Click to select "Export GeoJSON".
