instructions

Enter/convert each point in sequence along a route then click "router" each time. Pick points at significant bends. 11) "router" offers the area enclosed by the list (automatically closing the last & first "bends" notionally - so you don't have to). Search "Shoelace formula" for accuracy. 12) the "router" list can be used as short-term memory of unconnected points. The "bends", when clicked, load the short LatLong as a conversion. 13) KYP needs the correct county for display of green dots that pop-up
