Thanks for the comments - I see what you mean about not being able to click inside the area. This does make it more cumbersome to use. We will look in to this and see if it can be fixed.

The only tool I found on the internet to do this - great stuff. I couldn't put a point inside the shaded area as I came to complete the polygon - so one needs to think about the final point when starting the polygon - or the tool needs to be changed to allow this. A bit of a shame one cannot overlay an OS map to get a little more precision.
