Before I even strike out to attempt this, I need some more info on feasibility.
My goal: To create a map that will define hot/cold sales regions based on sales data, and create polygons around said regions. I will also incorporate sales data into the pop-up callouts. I know I can load the lat/long data from our database, but I'm not sure about the sales data, and defining regions based on that. For instance: Company A - we sold $3k in March, $0 in April, and $4k in May Company B - no sales from Feb-June, $2k in July, no sales Aug.-Sept. Company C - sold $15k consistently every month Company D - no sales all year Company E - $20k Feb, $2.5k March, $9k April, and so on. Companies A and C are 20 miles apart, Companies B and D are 30 miles apart. Based on that sales data, and geo-data, plot a polygon that encapsulates B and D, and another that encapsulates A and C, so we can see where we need to be focusing. If Company E falls in the region of B and D, there would be a ratio of sales/nosales. If sales/nosales>1.5, plot green and label region OK. If 1.5>sales/nosales>1, plot yellow and label region Needs Work. If 0.25<sales/nosales<1, plot orange and label region Attention Needed. If sales/nosales<0.25, plot red and label region Needs Market Penetration. OR Find areas where sales/nosales>1, <1, 0, etc. and plot them accordingly. The goal is to show us where we need to market to, and where we don't need to focus as much energy. It will incorporate data from several hundred companies. Is the maps API ready to handle such a thing? The math is going to be fun, but I need to know if it is even possible before I delve too deeply into it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
