|[*GIS*|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_gis_bubble.png!|A bubble map in which bubble positions are specified by GIS points.
