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.
