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.
  • Check the visualization
