Various functions for Areas allow for ease of use and effective management and use of those areas and their features (e.g., events, saved filters).

For each Area, clicking on will focus the map on that area.

Clicking on the arrow to the right of the Area name will expand the settings for each area to reveal three parts: Saved Filters, Events and Area.
