I am attempting to create a polygon for the Marin Headlands in Marin County. It is a complicated shape, and it takes a while to draw. I am getting an error on submission: "Invalid polygon geometry, simplify polygon".
I understand that there is a limit to these sorts of things, but what can I do when the shape is very detailed? (It follows a VERY complicated coastline)?
Also, when the polygon errors out, there is no way (that I can see) to edit the polygon that I just created. The site seems to want me to start over. This poly is HUGE and rebuilding it would be pretty difficult.
The number of points is not the problem. Your polygon is not valid, it crosses itself. I made a cleaned up version and added it here https://www.trailforks.com/polygon/2254/
