# Create a Zones Map Using a Template

Using a Zones Map template is useful when you want to create a new map from the data and settings of an existing Zones Map, then add fresh data. For example, you may have a 3-year satellite Zones Map and want to add a new image from the current year while keeping the same number of zones and vegetation index.

The process is the same as when creating a new Zones map, but now you use an already existing Zones map as the starting point.

1. Select the field in the tree, click the **Create Zones Map** button, select **Clone an existing Zones Map**, and then click **Next**.

2. In the next step, select the zones map you want to use as the template. Click **Next**.

3. The same criteria are applied with the same index. You see pre-selected images used in template analysis. Here you can select an image (images) you want to add or replace.

4. In the next step, you can edit the title, change the number of zones, [select a Data Classification Type](/geopard-tutorials/product-tour-web-app/zones-maps-and-analytics/using-data-classification.md), and define the Minimum Polygon Area in square meters. Click **Run Analysis** to proceed.

The analysis may run for up to 60 seconds, depending on the parameters you have specified.

5. Once it is finished, click **Save & Finish**.

After it is saved, you will see the following message:

You can create another zones map, assign rates, or open the Zones Map you just created.
