Using maps

Maps help you to do geographic analysis of data by using locations such as states, regions, and postal codes.

Over 235,000 administrative boundaries and over 220,000 zip and postal codes in over 245 countries are supported.

Note: For a complete list of supported locations, follow these steps:
  1. Go to https://github.com/IBM/ca_mapping_features/blob/master/README.md.
  2. Follow the instruction in the README file.
  3. There are spreadsheets available that contain the types of administrative and postal boundaries by country and spreadsheets that contain the names of the administrative boundaries by country.

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

Dashboards have a limit of plotting or mapping a maximum of 3000 data points on any visualization.
