Get Data for a Polygon — Population, Buildings, and Points of Interest

The Get Data tool shows summary information for any polygon on your map. It pulls population figures, place details, and OpenStreetMap counts for the area inside the polygon. You can also add roads, building footprints, aerial imagery, and points of interest directly from the panel.

View data for a polygon

1. In Map View, right-click the polygon.
2. From the menu, click Get Data.

A panel opens near the polygon showing a summary table. The table may include:

Note: Population, Area, and Density require a Pro account. Free users will see an Upgrade link in those rows.

• Roads — Adds road overlays for the polygon area.
• Footprints — Adds building footprint overlays for the polygon area.
• Aerial Imagery — Adds aerial/satellite imagery for the polygon area.
