Colour mass areas from the panel boxes

Nested postcodes allow effortless switching between areas and districts. Simply tap an area box in the panel on the right to colour all of its nested districts in one go.

Toggle colours on and off

Remove or change colours by tapping either the map or side panel boxes one more time

Edit the map title and key labels

Drag key items to reorder

Each key line has dots which are “handles” for dragging them to another position as you build your key

Colour palettes

Open key options for dozens more colours including heat map shades

Key visibility

Tidy your key by tapping the options to only show edited labels or only show colours that you have used on the map. Or hide the key altogether if it’s not relevant.
