Question for the panel "Map"

[jbrucher]

Hi there, For the panel map there are 3 kinds of map types: World, USA and Europa. If you have a field like “country_code” with a 2 letter country code in it and one of the values is for e.g. “CA”. If you select the map world than CA is treated as Canada, but if you select USA than its California which will be marked. Of course the panel itself is doing right, as the documentation stated: A map panel displays a map of shaded regions using any field that contains a 2-letter country or US state code. Regions with more hits are shaded darker.

But for a user who is switching the maps, this could lead to wrong data interpretation. So is this a known fact and are there any plans to improve this panel?

What I could imagine is something to be able to configure a certain field for each map type. So for Wolrd and Europa you can configure a field with “country_codes” and for USA a different field like “us_state_codes”.

Does this make any sense?

You can create two (or more) maps on the same dashboard each associated with a different field. I can't see what you exactly mean by switching the maps.
