Our team recently designed a dashboard using R Shiny Leaflet allowing users to select many locations at one go on an interactive map. We created the map using the package [crayon-5dec6793bdd56984261202-i/], which enables users to draw shapes on R Shiny Leaflet maps. When combined with the package [crayon-5dec6793bdd5e103009960-i/] and a function called [crayon-5dec6793bdd61368722935-i/], the [crayon-5dec6793bdd64413111966-i/] drawing tool can
