I am looking into using Google - MyMaps as a solution for displaying data.
What we require is the ability to put up a number of layers that we can plot on a Google map that we can share.
I have tested this with some sample data and it looks like it will work for us, however the MyMaps limits are a problem.
We are likely to have layers with features anywhere from 1,000 - 30,000
I have reviewed the supported data and limits here
What I would like to know is how can we get around these limits and what are the options?
I am open to any solutions or direction that needs to be taken to be able to make this happen.
Many thanks
I don't think there's any way to get around those limits, other than splitting into multiple layers. There are a couple of good alternatives though:
Google Fusion Tables doesn't have this limit, but you might struggle to use multiple layers.
QGIS - Open Source GIS software which allows for free web-hosting on their QGIS Cloud for projects up to 50MB.

I have a point feature class that is survey monuments. I'd like to create a page for each survey monument that would have a a overview map showing where the monument is and a report on the attributes. Ideally I'd like to be able to insert photos that are attached to the feature.
I'm trying to determine what software would be best to do this, and any tricks I need to know. I have access to the following software:
ArcMap
ArcGIS Pro
FME
Geocortex
It seems like this should be a common type of thing to want to do, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it in any software other than using the Geocortex reporting tool. However, these aren't currently in our Geocortex site and it is quite cumbersome to get everything to a point where I can create reports there.
I figured this out. Not sure why I missed it initially. In ArcGIS Pro they are called Map Series and in ArcMap they are data driven maps.
Searching on those will give tonnes of information on how to do them.
I have a series of different maps made with leaflet and R. I need to be able to display these maps somewhere that is accessible online.
The file sizes are too large for Rpubs, some coming in at over 120 MB.
I have tried Rpubs, too large
I have tried rediculous WIX websites and similar but they don't have the capabilities to show that.
I have tried emailing them, that doesn't work.
I need maps, online that can be accessed. Someone just please throw ideas at me, I have been fighting with this for 24 hours now trying to get my finalized maps to the person that needs them!
I am quite new to Power BI and don't have much knowledge about it. I got the requirement to develop a report exactly as it is in the legacy system. The report has integrated bullet charts in a table and a custom collection of dimensions / facts.
Here's a screenshot:
Would it be possible to come up with a Power BI solution for that report which resembles the original more than 90%?
My current report tool doesn't support bullet charts at all (hence I am trying Power BI). However with Power BI it seems that you cannot integrate visuals like bullet charts (tried https://okviz.com/bullet-chart/) into a table.
It would be helping if you could choose one of these answers:
Yes, that's exactly what Power BI was made for and you can get it
from mostly standard functionality within the tool.
Yes, that's possible but you have to use some creative ways to come
up with a solution.
No, visuals, and tabular data are always two separate things in Power
BI
I think you can get duplicate the functionality pretty well, even if the exact formatting is a bit different.
Microsoft does have a Bullet Chart Visual that you can easily add to the out-of-the-box visualizations in Power BI using the Import a custom visual button. Here's a screenshot from the page I linked:
You can use the OKViz one you linked just as easily.
Whether you can get formatting that "resembles the original more than 90%" is unclear. I don't know how much of the style is required to match or how closely.
First of all, I'd like to explain what I want to achieve.
Imagine that I own a leaflet drop business. I cover a city, which is divided into 10 sections.
I want to leaflet-drop those 10 sections systematically, and have a heatmap that shows when they were last done (ie, if an area was done just last week, it would show up as green, but if it was done 6 months ago, it would be red.)
However, occasionally, I would do additional leaflet drops within the area, that I wouldn't want to be included in the data above - these would then show up on the heatmap in, say, blue.
I've been looking at OpenLayers, and it seems like it can do what I want - but I'm not really that technical, so need advice. OpenLayers has the ability to select specific areas with a polygon tool, which is exactly what I need - but how can I input this data, which will change frequently?
I currently monitor coverage of the territories with an Excel spreadsheet, but would like this heatmap system in addition to that.
So - any ideas?
Heck, for a tool for you to use yourself, you could use a drawing package like Inkscape. Scan a map of the area, paste that in, draw polygons for the areas you care about, and then every time you do a drop, change the colour of the polygon.
OpenLayers is generally used by software developers to aggregate geospatial/map data from various sources into web applications used by many users. OpenLayers can do what you want but not without writing a fair amount of JavaScript code. You might be looking more for a tool like ESRI's ArcCatalog, although it is probably too powerful for your needs.
I did a quick google search of "best map drawing tools" and found SmartDraw, for example. I have no affiliation with SmartDraw, nor do I know if it's any good, but it seems like this type of software would be more suited to your needs.
For what you say would be more useful a desktop tool as e.g. http://www.qgis.org/ (is open source and free)
I would like to include MAP in an application which will update the route I travel.
I have studied various map sources and listed Google Earth, Worldwind and Openstreet map.
Can someone help me in choosing the right one.
I might need offline use also.
I may advice you to choose Google earth: it is quicker and has better texture quality, in my opinion. It is also quite used so you can find a lot of information and examples about how to do things, whereas Worlwind is not so used (448 vs 38 tags in stackoverflow).
