Hi Klaus, the Luk Chuen…
Hi Klaus, the Luk Chuen House is also part of the estate, so the estate covers a larger area on the map, please see: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lek+Yuen+Estate/@22.3847834,114.19177…
PS The tool to draw the outline on the map for a Place is the 'Draw Polygons' tool. It looks like a triangle with circles at each corner.
Estate boundaries
Hi David, changes made.
P.S. The hint with "polygons" was really helpful. I will use it more often in the future.
re: Estate boundaries
Thanks Klaus. Outlines from the polygon tool look better than lines, but there is also an extra benefit in the information they store. When we store a line in the database we can't use it for any searches, but when we store a polygon we can ask questions like 'show me all the Places that are located within this polygon's area'.
