How to Draw a Circle on a Map in Proxi

  1. Open Your Proxi Map in the Proxi Map Studio.
  2. Click ‘Add Shape’ from the golden sidebar on the left side of your map.
  3. Select ‘Circle’ to start drawing.
    • Click on your desired center point—this will be the middle of your circle.
    • Hold down your mouse and drag in or out to adjust the circle size.
  4. Choose how you want to save your shape:
    • Background Object – The shape will be part of your map’s background, always visible but not interactive.
    • Data Point – The shape will act like a point, meaning users can click it to view additional details. You can assign it a category, tags, and filters to make it easier to navigate.

Fine-Tune Your Circle Details

Once your circle is placed, you can customize it to fit your needs:

  • Title & Description – Add context to your shape.
  • Circle Radius – Adjust it precisely using meters or miles.
  • Circle Outline – Choose the stroke color, thickness, and opacity.
  • Circle Fill – Select a fill color and opacity to make your shape stand out.

Need to make changes? No problem! Click ‘Edit’ in the shape editor to:

  • Move the circle by dragging it to a new location.
  • Adjust the size manually or by updating the radius measurement.
  • Delete the circle by clicking the trash can icon.
