# How to import geospatial data into your plans
## Learn how to import external geographic data (GeoJSON, JSON, .gpx, .kml, or .kmz file formats) into your plans from online sources or other software.
1. **Select the Data Source**
Start by selecting the **Layer** within your plan where you intend to integrate the geospatial data by clicking on it. Navigate to **Import** from the dropdown menu.
You have the choice to either drag and drop the GeoJSON or JSON file directly into the upload panel or use the Choose file function to locate and upload the file from your system.
**2. Map Geospatial Properties**
Once the file is uploaded, you are given the opportunity to map specific geospatial data properties to correspond with attributes within your chosen **Layer.**
On the left-hand side of the Import data to map list, your **Layer attributes** will be listed. Simply select the arrow on the relevant **Field to import** box on the right-hand side to choose the corresponding property.
In this example, we map the *Field to import* **Instructions** to the *Layer attribute* **Description.**
And the *Field to import **Instructions*** to the *Layer attribute* **Description.**
**3. Finalise and Import**
After mapping the properties, continue by selecting Import Layer. This action completes the import process. Congratulations! Your external geospatial data has now been successfully imported and incorporated into your plan ready for use.
**Note:** The maximum file size for upload is 10MB. If your file exceeds this limit or if you have other file extensions you’d like to import, please contact us. We’d be happy to help.
**Example: Watch how easy it is to import geospatial data into your plans.**
