I am trying to define a polygon in GEE from a set of points I have defined in Google Earth Pro. I have converted the Google Earth given coordinates as follows: [24°27'41.42"N], [36°23'20.51"E] = [24.461506, 36.389031], but when plotting the polygon in GEE i can't seem to obtain the same shape nor centering. The code in GEE:

 ee.Geometry.Polygon( [[[24.461506, 36.389031], [16.445217, 40.374192], [11.210819, 44.119544], [16.188453, 54.824286], [20.058042, 60.245078], [24.364033, 59.358711], [27.331878, 56.753617], [27.096642, 51.463783], [30.724233, 48.432361]]], null, false); // Create a planar polygon. var planarPolygon = ee.Geometry(polygon, null, false); // Display the polygons by adding them to the map. Map.centerObject(polygon); Map.addLayer(polygon, {color: 'FF0000'}, 'geodesic polygon'); Map.addLayer(planarPolygon, {color: '000000'}, 'planar polygon'); 

What is my mistake?

You have your coordinates in the wrong order for Earth Engine. The appropriate order is [East-Coordinate, North-Coordinate].

So it should work by just switching the order of your coordinates.
