Visualizations

Geo Map charts

Plot networks, routes, markers, region fills, and heatmaps on an India or world map from query columns.

Updated August 15, 2026

Geo Map (chart type geo-route) uses Apache ECharts map overlays. India (states) is the default basemap. Nodes, edges, and markers come from your query — or from a built-in India sample when the result is empty.

Choose a map style

Open Visualization Setting → Map type.

Style What it shows Columns to map
Network (geo graph) Cities as nodes, connections as arrows Place name, longitude, latitude, edge source, edge target
Animated routes Curved paths with a moving trail Same as Network
Markers One point per row Place name, longitude, latitude
Ripple markers Pulsing points Same as Markers
Region fill States or countries colored by a metric Region name, value
Density heatmap Warm spots from coordinates + weight Longitude, latitude, value
SVG map Interactive SVG basemap (ECharts geo-svg-map) Region name matching SVG name="..." attributes, optional value

Guidance under the style dropdown updates as you switch.

Basemap

Map → Basemap defaults to India (states). Also available:

  • India (country outline) — one polygon behind city markers
  • World — country polygons
  • Sicily (SVG) — official ECharts SVG topographic map (used by SVG map)
  • Custom GeoJSON / SVG URL — any public FeatureCollection or SVG file

Pan and zoom are on by default. Region labels can be turned on for choropleths. SVG map supports single or multiple region selection, matching named paths in the SVG.

Pan and zoom are on by default. Region labels can be turned on for choropleths.

Dynamic nodes, edges, and markers

Point Data fields at your columns. Typical names are detected automatically (name, lng/lon, lat, source/from, target/to, region/state, value).

  • Changing the query remaps points and links on the next render.
  • Marker size scales a numeric column between the min and max marker sizes.
  • India sample if empty (on by default) shows major Indian cities so you can preview styles before the query returns coordinates.

Region fill names

For India choropleths, region labels should match the map file. The default India states file uses names such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, West Bengal, Orissa (not Odisha), and Uttaranchal (not Uttarakhand). Common aliases are remapped automatically.

Appearance

Under Markers and edges and Appearance, each color uses a hex field and a native color picker (same control as scatter, heatmap, and table charts). Set land, border, hover land, marker, route, and choropleth/heatmap range colors independently.

Start with Network on India

Run a query with city coordinates, pick Geo Map, keep Network and India (states), then switch styles without changing the basemap.
