shape map

map.jpghello

 

 

I have converted a shape map file, representing my organization's districts area of activity, to topojson format .

However when I want to use it I see no option of "add map"(see the attached snapshot) like  I saw in the documantation I read.

 

Another question concerens the analytic data I want to reflect on the map.

Am I supposed to create a new table that has both analytic data of each district + the geographic data from the json file ?

Do they have to share a fields i.e the district code?

 

Thanks

Erez

You need to put a data field into Location first. Then you can edit the map under Shape.

Thanks Simon_Hou-MSFT .

 

I did succeed to manage the visual.

However when I import a personal topojson file I don't see the map correctly.

I've used this link http://mapshaper.org/  for the conversion of my personal shape file to topojson  format.

But this resulted a bad converstion.

Someone  had a similar problem but he used to arc map which I don't have.

He configued the conversion with  a "WGS 84 / EPSG 4326 " option . But I don't know if this can we implied in mapshaper.

 

Do you have an idea how can I convert the shape file correctly to topojson ?

 

Thanks

Erez
