Hello,
I am trying to create a simple shapemaps of areas such as EMEIA, Americas, APAC and some custom areas, to be able to drill down to very custom regions like "Europe West". I was trying to do this through shapemaps but I cannot find anywhere a simple enough step by step instruction on how to get these custom values onto a json coordinate file. Any tips?
I am using this file to get a general world map - topojson/world-countries-sans-antarctica.json at master · deldersveld/topojson · GitHub
Although my users want to rightclick on a map and drill through to reports through a custom shape for example "entire EMEIA". I am looking for a way to a way to create topojson map that I can customize by selecting countries and then merging them into a region or area (creating different borders).
@Magnolia , if you have json map available you can use shape map
