Hello, 
Although not yet fully operational, you can prepare Collect mobile to register polygon points: they can be recorded and are visible in the map; only not connected with lines - see earlier discussion on this:

Regards, Joseph

> Hi, I have already followed the discussion you shared. The points (coordinates) are visible in the map, but let say for a certain area besides other information I need to draw a polygon which will be visible in the map. There is a way to draw polygon using geometry option. I tried but the polygon (Connected with line) is not visible in the map. I am looking for a way to draw polygon directly using Open Foris, like we can draw polygon suing GPS. Thanks, Falgoonee (falgoonee_forester)

Check it out once more Falgonee: the OF team has worked on it and we can see the polygons now. Also the map app zooms in on the survey(s) area again!

> Yes I checked it, it worked. Thanks to the team, great work (falgoonee_forester)
