Creating a Map in Web Application Designer

[former_member314446]

I was wondering what I need to create a map in WAD. Do you have to use the ArcView GIS software for the map to work correctly? Any information you have on configuring this is greatly appreciated.

Hi MAC,

1) 0country is itself content world map, So you can use it for demo purpose.

After installing 0country from business content

Then please check 0country contains MAPS

RSD1 -- 0Country

Click on Maintain

Click Business Explorer

Under BEx Map please click on Edit shape files

It's contain three Objects- BW_GIS_DBF, BW_GIS_SHP, BW_GIS_SHX

These three files confirms itself that Geographic data.

2) ESRI is providing only GIS software for processing MAPs (Which contains some free demo maps).

Here is a simple example:

1) Enable GEO Coding of a characterisitc such as 0County (Load the 3 map files)

2) Create a simple query with 0County and a key figure

3) Create a Web template and use a map item based on the query above.
