Summary

This guide offers a simple, step-by-step method for drawing polygons of GPS coordinates and converting them into GeoJSON format using Google Maps and other free tools. This process is part of the EUDR requirements, which mandate that operators and traders collect geographic coordinates of the plots where timber is produced. These coordinates must be included in the due diligence statements submitted to the EU Information System.
