How to manage maps with private areas?

$

Hello,

A client contacted me because he would like an app allowing him to use maps to display and locate "private areas" (like plots for a farmer) through layers drawn on the map.

The expected result is something like this:

To achieve this, I need:

  • a admin web app allowing administrators to define these areas
  • a map that should get and display these areas in the mobile app

The easyer way to achieve must to use GoogleMaps:

  • I've seen that we can define polygons on a web app
  • there's the TK.CustomMap plugin allowing to draw shapes on a Google map

=> but I don't see how to get the areas defined from the web app for draw them on the mobile app

I also looked for other solutions:

  • MapBox and the related Xamarin.Forms plugin
  • ThinkGeo which seems very complete but very expensive too
  • ArcGis, that seems interesting in a .Net environment

But I didn't found a similar case than mine, where areas were defined from a web app, and displayed on the mobile app.

=> Would you have any suggestion? What would be the better approach to achieve this?
