Geo spatial analysis. Besides visualizing your company's dimension and fact data on a geographical map,
ViDa Maps allows you to:

• use a standard zoom toolset;
• use multiple colors and icons;
• display small or large points based upon the weight of a fact;
• display a dynamic legend allowing hot spot analysis;
• display the scale;
• use shapes (areas, e.g.: states);
• use the Cognos drill through ability;
• select multiple Geo marks and see drill through definitions;
• play the evolution of a plotted fact through time;
• use context and dynamic filtering;
• select an area using a rectangle.

Any non-stantdard functionality can be custom built by our team of developers.

Currently, the ViDa Maps data providers connect to:

• Google Spreadsheets;
• Microsoft SharePoint TM;
• SPARQL endpoints;
• IBM Cognos 8 BI (queries, reports, cubes).

to retrieve their data from. Yet short, this list is endlessly exhaustive thanks to the open architecture of the data provider's component. Moreover, multiple data layers are supported on 1 map, in other words data or shapes plotted on a map can source from multiple data providers.

Base layers:

• Open street maps;
• OGC compliant servers (ESRI);
• Google, Bing & Yahoo maps;
• GML.

Data layers:

• bubble;
• icon;
• shape.

Other layers:

• drawing layer;
• GML.
