I want to display specific locations on top of a filled map - is this possible.
So for example I can show a map of the USA with the states shaded according to crime rates for example but can I then place specific location markers on that as well?
@Riskman You mean like drop a pin ? I don't think that's possbile. Unless you know R and go down that path of creating R visuals where you create your own maps.
Hi @ankitpatira I mean combining both these map visualizations in a single image. Perhaps it's not possible as you say.
You can do couple things...
Create a Filled Map and a regular Map next to each other like this
The Filled Map shows you the states and the regular map the location (1)
When you select CA in the Filled Map - the regular Map will zoom in on CA and show you those locations (2)
You can also use the dirill down feature in regular maps...
Create 1 Regular Map - place both State and City in the Location area
click drill down button (top right corner) - click CA - the SAME map will zoom in on CA
Hope this helps! Let me know.
Hi @Sean in your first suggestion you said clicking on CA in the Filled map would zoom the second map to CA. I couldn't get that to work. Do you have to do something specific to get this going?
@Riskman Yes - when you click on the Filled Map - the regular map zooms to that state.
What fields are you using in the second map and how are they formatted?
@Sean I have State (formatted as text) and my locations (specified as addresses in free text). Both of these are added to the Location field. The Long/Lat fields are not used:
@Riskman think of the Filled Map as your Slicer - and the regular map shows ALL locations - remove State from the Location field.
This also works with Counties.
Thanks @Sean the two map approach could work. Not exactly what I wanted but I think it's good for now - thanks!
