Geospatial Software Programs: Placemark

Placemark tools allow the Applicant to identify a single point as a location in the software. Placemarks provide the following benefit to the Applicant when used correctly:

  • Single point with an identifying label
    • Placemarks are generally useful for identifying single points of interest, such as site locations
  • The ability to view coordinates, which can be easily passed along to FEMA
  • Customizable symbols and characteristics
