13.1 Mapping concepts
13.1.1 Mapping overview
With Crystal Reports, you can include geographic maps in reports. Maps help you analyze report data
and identify trends more efficiently. For example, you could create a map that shows sales by region.
You would then be able to:
• Use one of the five map types to analyze the data.
• Adjust the appearance and organization of the map (allowing you to better identify trends).
• Drill down on the map regions to view underlying data.
13.1.2 Map layouts
The Map Expert provides four layouts that correspond to certain sets of data.
You can create maps with any of the following layouts, and depending on the data you are using, you
can change the map from one layout to another.
Advanced
Use the Advanced layout when using multiple map values or when you do not have any groups or
summaries in the report.
Group
The Group layout is a simplified layout in which you show a summary on change of a geographic field
(such as Region).
