Naming Conventions
1. Regions where you want trackers placed must be labeled 'Site Boundaries'
2. Areas to exclude must be labeled 'DC Constraints'

Google Earth makes quick work of generating .kml files. After navigating to their
website,
define areas using the polygon drawing tool and label them accordingly. Then export as a .kml file.
