The following table will provide you with information on the different map types and reasons for using each of them, linking you to their individual tutorials.

|[*Raster Map*|Tutorial - Image Map]|!chart_map.png!|If you do not have GIS defined columns you can use the Image Maps to create heat maps - these are a good way to display metrics with a spatial element such as Revenue by State or Country You will only be able to render maps for which an image map has been defined. 
|[*Google*|Tutorial - Google Map]|!chart_google_map.png!|Google Maps allow you to render location data points onto a Google map which will be displayed as a Yellowfin Chart - along with associated Google map widgets. You will have to have a Google Map Key to use this type of chart 
|[*GIS Google Map*|Tutorial - GIS Google Map]|!chart_gis_google_map.png!|A Google map which uses GIS data for its marker coordinates.
|[*GIS*|Tutorial - GIS Map]|!chart_gismap.png!|GIS Maps allow the rendering of complex GIS polygons. These can be used to render spatial reports on the fly based on the GIS data available in a report. 
|[*GIS Bubble*|Tutorial - GIS Bubble Map]|!chart_gisbubblegis_bubble.png!|A bubble map in which bubble positions are specified by GIS points. 
|[*GIS Heat*|Tutorial - GIS Heat Map]|!chart_gismap_heat.png!|A heat map where colours representing GIS points are blended based on intensity.|
