Geo Areas are more specific areas of the map that can be created in another location (eg. google maps) and be added here. Unlike the Geo Groups, the choice does not depend on countries.

Here are the steps to create one using Google Maps:
Open Google Maps
Click on the top left for the menu
Click on “Your Places”
Click the Tab “Maps”
Click the “Create Map” option on the bottom
You will see an editing tool and on the floating bar there is an option called “Draw a line”
Select the “Add Line or Shape” option and draw lines on the map. When the lines meet you will have a GEO Area
You can select the 3 dots next to the map’s name to export in KML. Select only the active Layer and that will give you the GEO Area KML.
