Using lat and log for geo map


#1

Hi, I am using ChartFactor Studio to create a Geo Map GL with a heatmap of crime in my city, but it seems to require a Location field, but I have the Latitude and Longitude, I started by loading the dataset from a csv file using the file upload feature of my Elasticsearch provider, how can I create a heatmap with my latitude and longitude fields? Is this possible?

Well, in studio these are the steps to do that:

  1. in your provider click in the upload data icon
  2. Select csv and upload your file
  3. Click on the settings button

  1. If you have two number fields in this case lat and lon the option for add a geo point will be visible, so add a geo point fields and select the lat and lon field, in my case i don’t have a lat and lot, but you should select the lat and lon fields here:

  1. Click on save and just import the file, it will create a geo point field that you can use in your geo map
