The text box feature can be used if you would like to add some informational text or titles to your map. Text can be placed anywhere on the map. HTML can also be used for formatting purposes.
To add a text box to your map, go to Edit Map | Add Special | Textbox, then in the ”text” field enter the text you wish to display on the map. Leave the other default options as is and click “Save”. Repeat these steps for any additional text you wish to add to your map.
