How to create a Map View / Geospatial service in Microstrategy Web Dossier

Today we will learn on how to use Map View / Geospatial service in Microstrategy Web

In order to use Map view / Geospatial service, we need to first define the geography (longitude/latitude) in our dataset. If you have columns with city/country name, you can still define the geography. Microstrategy will automatically convert city/country to latitude/longitude format.

Steps:

• Right click and edit your dataset that has either longitude/latitude or city/country names
• Right click the column that has City/Country 
• Define the geography accordingly (city if the column contain city names, country if it has country names )
• It will automatically convert the city/country into latitude/longitude format
• Click save
• Now use Geospatial Service
• Add the geography column under the Geo attribute 

• Specify a color by attribute
• Under formatting, Select Map options
• Map style = Street

• You are done.
