Maps

Maps help you to do geographic analysis of data by using location data such as regions, cities, and latitude and longitude.

IBM® Cognos® Analytics supports over 200,000 administrative boundaries in more than 245 countries.

Data is mapped by matching the location name on the map with a location in your data.

Note: Due to a licensing restriction, street map data in maps powered by Mapbox is not available in Cognos Analytics for Japanese regions. You can still use Japanese maps. However, when you select a map layer that previously contained street map data, the street map data does not display for Japanese locations.

Legacy maps are unaffected by this change.

Other names for a map are polygon, filled region, and choropleth.
