Map appears off-centered

Hello,

Please bear with me as I'm somewhat new to Yellowfin.

I'm trying to create a map chart using postcode in the report builder, and whenever I place my geography dimension in - it creates the map off center. I've done my best to look through the other posts, but haven't found anything indicating a way to move the map around or set default zoom.

I've attached a screenshot for reference.

Thank you.

Hi Evan,

you can set a default zoom by going to Chart Settings->GIS Boundaries and then setting the Latitude and Longitudes values as you wish.

For example, if I start off with a world map as such as

07068a6d3cbfce2f0432c3cbcb4ab0ad

and wish to set a default zoom around America then I could do something like this:

Hope that helps!

David

Hello David!

Thanks very much for your reply. That looks like exactly what I'm looking for, but I don't see those settings in that menu:

Chart settings for that chart:

73606cc14313dbd2c33689c121d5d1c5


It may be of note that in this case I'm using the US Zipcode Pack. Not sure if that changes anything.

Hi Evan,

thanks for the screenshot, I see you are using AutoChart, to get the GIS Boundaries option you will need to use one of the GIS charts such as GIS Map:

I would also like to draw your attention to our map documentation in our wiki which contains lots of useful information, videos and tutorials.
