Hi,
I’m trying to show the outline of a NZ land title in shp format on a satellite image.
I can import the shp file but i can’t see how to show just the edge of the titles.

I thought it would be something like

GeoGraphics[titles, FaceForm[ Opacity[1.] ], EdgeForm[{Red, Thick}], Background -> "Satellite"]

but that just comes up error.
Any help appreciated, there doesn’t seem to be a gentle introduction to GIS with Mathematica.

Attaching your data to the post would be helpful.

It would be easier if you shared your data file, but maybe this works for you (I can’t try it out myself, because I don’t have your data file):

GeoGraphics[{
    FaceForm[Opacity[1.]], 
    EdgeForm[{Red, Thick}], 
    GeoPolygon[ Entity["AdministrativeDivision", {"Auckland", "NewZealand"}]]
}]

Thanks, i got the GIS guy at work to generate a shp file that is OK to post to a public forum - the title surrounding Taranaki, a beautiful mountain in NZ.

The upload wouldn’t accept a .zip or the .shx component of the shapefile triplet - i don’t think the two i’ve attached are usable without it.

shapefile = Import["/Users/admin/Documents/Taranaki shp.shp"]

works fine

GeoGraphics[GeoPolygon[shapefile]]

fails: GeoPolygon is not a Graphics primitive or directive.

I’ve tried everything suggested from ChatGPT3.5 and they all fail. I’m using mma v12.1.1.0

Weirdly, even the non-shapefile suggestion by Arnoud Buzing failed - all I got was a street map image of Auckland: GeoPolygon is not a Graphics primitive or directive.
