Yellowfin has the capability to render data points onto Google maps and then use all the features of Google maps to navigate and zoom into the data set.  To be able to use this functionality you must have a valid Google Maps API key - available from www.google.com.  

For Google maps to be effective you will need Latitude and Longitude Data. This is needed to pass through to the Google Maps API and render points on a map.
