Plot activity using custom Shape Map visual - UK Counties

[ukrutter]

I have activity within my dataset which shows activity with a latitude and longitude reference. I have shown this as a heat map using the Map visual. How can I use this data to better show by UK county using the Shape map visual? Do I need to use a json file with the various co-ordinates?

Shape map works by matching up a field in your data with metadata in the shape map, for example, location. So, in this example, latitude and longitude wouldn't be a good match for a county shapemap.

If you add a field to your data with some method of identifying county then I think it would work.
