Addagham area south of Riyadh where we will create an area for limestone extraction set four corner points from create landmark from here create landmark waypoints for example A okay D okay connect these corners in an area shape name it for example Moody lime
8:12
From here, create landmark, choose area, name it for example Moody Lime Draw and add details about location and distance from Riyadh for example, save and close. Then from Moody Lime, edit details, more description for example Moody South about for example,
