Either I am missing something very basic, or the geomaps visualization does not, in fact, work with metropolitan area codes as is claimed in the documentation.
I took the example code from the markers example at http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/geomap.html and inserted it into the code playground. It worked as shown, using the names of the cities in the first column. But when I change the value in the first column to a metro code, the marker is not drawn. The code sample below draws all the markers except for the first, in which I have substituted "501" for "New York". 501 is the metropolitan area code for New York according to http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/appendix/metrocodes.html#New%20York Does anyone know how to use metropolitcan area codes with the geomap visualization? function drawVisualization() { var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addRows(6); data.addColumn('string', 'City'); data.addColumn('number', 'Popularity'); data.setValue(0, 0, '501'); data.setValue(0, 1, 200); data.setValue(1, 0, 'Boston'); data.setValue(1, 1, 300); data.setValue(2, 0, 'Miami'); data.setValue(2, 1, 400); data.setValue(3, 0, 'Chicago'); data.setValue(3, 1, 500); data.setValue(4, 0, 'Los Angeles'); data.setValue(4, 1, 600); data.setValue(5, 0, 'Houston'); data.setValue(5, 1, 700); var options = {}; options['region'] = 'us_metro'; options['colors'] = [0xFF8747, 0xFFB581, 0xc06000]; //orange colors options['dataMode'] = 'markers'; var container = document.getElementById('visualization'); var geomap = new google.visualization.GeoMap(container); geomap.draw(data, options); } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Visualization API" group.
