Hello everyone!

I just want to know, what kind of marker it is, if it's inside of purple area, when you click it? Is it some kind of radius for the area? I found one in Kouvola and the area is way too wide for that place name. Also, when creating new place name, how can I specify that "radius"?

Kind regards,

Hi David

If available a polygon is displayed, otherwise for PPL a bounding box is calculated based on population. If no population is available a default size is used.
Currentyl it cannot be edited with the browser interface, setting the population correctly will normally improve the size.
