# Sales territory mapping in Google Maps cannot own the door

Sales territory mapping in Google Maps is a shared pin list on a custom map, and it stops being a territory while two people can still open the same door. Knockdesk field sales software draws the boundary and cuts turf after that list runs out, under the sales territory management pillar.

## A pin list still cannot refuse a second claim

A google maps sales territory is that saved pin list on My Maps. The pin caps still do not assign turf or record a visit. Google Maps is the basemap you pinned. It is not Knockdesk.

**Layer cap.** On My Maps, a layer holds up to 2,000 places, lines, or shapes. That number counts map features. It is not a household count.

**Map cap.** On My Maps, the map holds up to 10,000 places, lines, or shapes, across up to 10 layers. A second map is a second list, not one territory.

**No turf owner.** A shared pin does not refuse a second claim. Two people can still knock the same door.

**No verified visit.** A pin on the basemap is not a knock at the door. Nothing on that list checks that the rep was there.

## Draw the territory, then cut the work

Knockdesk is not that pin list. You draw the territory as a polygon, a circle, a rectangle, a zip, a county, or a state, then cut turf inside it. New turf cannot overlap turf already cut. One owner gets the pack. Full desk is on the pricing page. A free trial is not open.
