Point maps
Data with latitude-longitude pairs can be visualized as a point map. Points can be sized and colored by additional properties in the dataset.

Region maps
Data with region-based location information can be visualized as a region map. Omni offers region-based mappings for countries and US states out of the box, and offers a custom region option for greater flexibility.
Built-in countries
Country region data can be mapped against your dataset by either country name, 2-digit country code or 3-digit country code.
| Dataset | Map |

Built-in US States
US state region data can be mapped against your dataset by either name or 2-digit code.

Custom Regions
Omni allows you to specify your own region data via URL. You can specify an endpoint that returns region data complying to either the GeoJSON or TileJSON specifications.
In order to use custom regions, you’ll need to set your region type to “Custom” and then fill out the following fields:
- Source type - specify whether your region source is GeoJSON or TileJSON
- Source URL - the URL from which to load your GeoJSON or TileJSON data
- Source layer (TileJSON only) - the layer within the TileJSON specification you want to map against
- Region property - the property in the GeoJSON or TileJSON data that you want to map against

Projection types
Point and region maps support 2D (mercator) and 3D (globe) projections.

Initial viewport
When working in the workbook editor, you can save a fixed map viewport (center and zoom level) for both point and region maps. Once saved, the map will maintain your chosen view instead of automatically fitting to the data.
To set an initial viewport, pan and zoom the map to your desired view, then click the Set current view as initial view control in the map toolbar. The map will display Fixed view in the visualization settings once a viewport is saved.
When an initial viewport is set, the map will maintain that view even when data or filters change. To restore the default auto-fit behavior, click Reset to fit data in the visualization settings, or use the Reset map control on the map itself.
The initial viewport feature is only available in the workbook editor. It is not available on dashboards or in embedded/read-only sessions.
Custom visualizations
More complex map visualizations can be unlocked using advanced visualization.
