In SAP Analytics Cloud, geo maps offer the visualization of data on a world map. You can choose from a variety of geographical mapping options to display your regional data, trends, flow, and so much more.
The figure Geo Map Navigation shows the geo map navigation options.
To use the map, enhance a data model with geo dimensions.
The following geo models are supported:
- Import models using a manual upload.
- Live models using SAP HANA as a datasource.

The following layer types are available:
