Maps: Custom grouping of cities to be used in Drill down

[poojawadhwa]

Hello There,

I have a requirement where i need to use hierarchy like this. province -> FSA Zone -> FSA.

PROVINCE	FSA ZONE	FSA
Ontario	06 - ON ZONE 01	K0A
Ontario	06 - ON ZONE 01	K0B
Ontario	06 - ON ZONE 01	K0G
Ontario	06 - ON ZONE 02	K0C
Ontario	06 - ON ZONE 02	K0E
Ontario	06 - ON ZONE 02	K6H
Alberta	09 - AB ZONE 01	T0P
Alberta	09 - AB ZONE 01	T9H
Alberta	09 - AB ZONE 02	T0H
Alberta	09 - AB ZONE 02	T8S
Alberta	09 - AB ZONE 02	T8V
Alberta	09 - AB ZONE 03	T7P
Alberta	09 - AB ZONE 03	T9S

Now here, FSA Zone is a custom grouping that we follow. Is there a way or workaround to use a custom field as a drill value on Azure Map or any map.

Thanks & Regards

Hi @poojawadhwa ,
Based on your description, you're aiming to use a hierarchical structure (province -> FSA Zone -> FSA) for drilling down in a map visualization, with FSA Zone being a custom grouping.
Here are some steps you you can try to achieve your target
First, ensure your data, including the custom FSA Zone groupings, is structured in a way that can be easily consumed by Azure Maps. This might involve creating a GeoJSON file or similar that represents your hierarchical data.
Second, leverage the Azure Maps Web SDK to create and customize your map. You can add custom data as overlays on the map. For hierarchical drill-down, you might consider implementing interactive elements that respond to user actions (e.g., clicking on a province to drill down into FSA Zones).
