Maps integration

For dashboards and data visualisation, our customers are using maps (google, ESRI, OpenStreetMap, etc) as data visualisation tools.
For example, if you have a store, and customer dimension, you could have Latitude-longitude attributes, based on which you can put markers, or bubbles onto the map. This is very useful if you would like to have a geographical visualisation of the data, e.g. how stores are performing in a country, and so on.
Jedox. does not have an out-of-the-box tool, we tried the widget but its a bit complicated for business users.

So the data source could be a table, where you have customers in the rows, with lat/lon attributes and the next 2 columns for bubble size/color.

Context: For example in commerce, we could show the stores on a map, with relevant sales figures in pop up boxes. Users usually love it, but it has business value as you can visualise your stores on a map where you can see where are those stores located (city center, suburb, etc) Also we used map areas like county to highlight a bigger geography area to see a sales in a county, country etc. Also pinned stores on a map can be used as a selector for example see a detailed sales table/chart for Frankfurt.

Another example: I pick a store and I would like to see an area where this store can be reached in 15 minutes drive time. This sound sci-fi but exits. It returns a shape that is within this drive time.

I can go on forever on this :)

We are working with visual crossing on other projects and these map applications could really improve dashboards.
