Introduction to Geospatial Service Visualizations with Areas

You can display locations in a geospatial service visualization on a map as areas. Areas are colored locations on a map that represent geographic regions (that is, countries, states, and counties). You can color-code areas based on metric values or attribute elements.

You can perform the following tasks using a geospatial service visualization with areas:

• View different types of maps, such as a topographical map or a satellite image.
• Display areas in the visualization with different colors based on metric values or attribute elements.
• Display additional information about a location when you hover over an area in the visualization by adding tooltips to the map areas.
