Webi Geo Maps

Hello all,

I have created a geo map in webi, however I cannot zoom in or out of the map.

I am using version 4.2 service pack 3

Any suggestions please?

Thanks

I don`t think Webi implements a ‘proper’ Geo map, something like google or bing maps. You have to have 3rd party plugins for that (like Galigeo or Visual Crossing).

Any updates to current Geo maps in webi 4.2 SP 7? I’m mostly interested in sizing the map to the data, say if just United States including Alaska, I would like an area that just shows that. right now it shows almost all the continents unless I remove Alaska (I’m SP 2 right now but upgrading). thanks…

You might try an input control on the states.
Also a clunky workaround is to use the zoom on your browser

thanks. So I’m basically trying to make my webi report look and function like a dashboard so zooming in isn’t really what i was going for. Another other ideas or thoughts on SP7? Is there a free or almost free google map add-on i can investigate?

I have managed to utilise Custom elements and embed maps within Webi report , here is the link to the posting https://bobj-board.org/t/254029
