What is Map Widget?
The Map Widget allows users to display geographic information in 2D or 3D formats, offering an intuitive way to visualize spatial data. It includes interactive tools, such as zoom, to enhance usability. Users can work with two types of maps: Geo Maps and Leaflet Maps. Geo Maps display data by country, with options for low or high resolution, enabling straightforward geographic analysis. Leaflet Maps offer advanced customization, allowing users to visualize data by country, state, city, or specific coordinates, making it easy to tailor maps to specific needs and gain deeper insights.
Features of the Map Widget
Geo Maps:
- Effortlessly display client data on Geo maps.
- Choose specific country maps for focused analysis.
- Select map resolutions (Low or High) for further customization.
Leaflet Maps:
- Customize maps by selecting from various map types: country, state, city, or latitude & longitude.
- Integrate latitude and longitude data for precise location accuracy.
- Use an intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface for adding data and configuring map parameters.
Benefits of the Map Widget
Geo Maps:
- Visualize your data geographically, making patterns and insights easier to spot.
- Focus maps on regions relevant to your data, enhancing understanding and supporting decision-making.
- Customize map clarity and performance to suit your data complexity and preferences.
Leaflet Maps:
- Fine-tune maps to match the specific details of your data for accurate representation.
- Enhance precision and location-specific insights by integrating exact coordinates.
- Simplify the map creation process, so users can focus on data analysis rather than navigating complex tools.
Basic Functions of the Map Widget:
Map Type:
Geo Maps: A broad category of mapping technologies used to display geographic data. When selecting Geo Maps, users can add Map Subtype, Map Resolution, and Map Type.
Leaflet Maps: Built using the Leaflet JavaScript library, these maps are designed for interactive web applications. When selecting Leaflet, users can add a Dataset, Map Type (Latitude-Longitude, Country, State, County, City), and define Value and Aggregation.
Sub Map Type:
This option allows users to add a chart for either the world map or a specific country.
