Bing Maps: Plot Map - Using Longitude and Latitude Co-ordinates
If your FastStats system holds Longitude and Latitude co-ordinates as variables, these can be used in order to create a Plot Map.
For example:
-
Create a selection identifying people in the Coventry Postal Area earning £70-80k and above - High Earners in the CV Postal Area.
-
Drag and drop the Map tool on top of the selection window
-
Click on the Layer 1 tab
-
Change the Title to High Earners in CV Postal Area
Complete the window as per the screenshot below:
As the screenshot indicates, the Latitude variable is dragged on to the Geographic Variable drop box and the Longitude variable is then dragged in as an Additional Variable.
-
Click on the Build button
When you zoom in over the CV Postal Area of the resulting map, you will see a pinpoint to represent the location of the people represented in the underlying selection - in this example, High Earners in the CV Postal Area.
