# geospatial type in Arena mobile

Asked by melinda on 2025-06-20

Hello,

I am new in Arena. I created several surveys on Arena Web, published them, and filled them on my phone on Arena mobile. The questions with the type 'geospatial' did not appear in any of the surveys. Is it because this functionality doesn't exist yet, thus it is not possible to draw polygons with the app?


Thank you !

Dear user,  
The geospatial attribute is not supported (yet) in Arena Mobile!  
You can use it now in Arena web to show a polygon on the map. You can upload polygons in GeoJSON format or you can use the geospatial attribute as a read-only field where you use the `geoPolygon` function; for example, if you have a multiple entity/table called "table" with a coordinate attribute called "location" inside of it, you can call the function `geoPolygon(table.location)` and generate a polygon using that locations.  
In a near future we will support it also in Arena Mobile.  
Let us know if you need some support from our side, or if you have any suggestions.  
Many thanks,
