Abstract:

Some embodiments provide a program that provides a view of a map that includes a geometry representing a geographical region belonging to a first level in a plurality of levels of a geographical hierarchy. The program further receives a request to focus on a geometry representing a geographical region belonging to a first level in the plurality of levels. The program further provides, in the view of the map, a subset of a set of geometries representing a set of geographical regions belonging to the second level in the plurality of levels of the geographical hierarchy. The program also provide, in the view of the map, a point for each record in the dataset having a spatial point in the location field that falls within the geometry representing the geographical region belonging to the first level in the plurality of levels.
