Shape map ZIP-Code Level

[raymond]

Hello dearest community 🙂

I am using the shap map visuals to visualize Data on a map. It works well on a district/ county level. I need more granularity so I would need zip code level. Hence lots of data. Germany has approx 16,000 zip code areas.

The issue is, that the shape map will not show any of the zip code areas. I dont know why. I have seen visualization though. How did you solve the problem?

Thats the map viz on COUNTY level NOT ZIP Code. Works fine. 

this is county level. Not ZIP CODE level

Thats the fields pane of that visual.

this is fields pane of that visual.

I am using a custom map as a shap with all the countys in json format

Under shape, I am using a custom map json

sample of that json

The json looks a little bit like that

NOW I switch to ZIP Code and I dont see anything. This is the new json for the zip areas

The zip determining data are formatted correctly

On the visual itself I get an error. Even when I filter the error may disappear but I cant see anything.

Hi @raymond ,

I would love to use a map on county level - where did you get it?

Hi @raymond ,

The zip code area is usually a point or a very small area. Maps will fill the map based on your request of 16000 data points. In this way, a similar error will appear, which comes from this link:

You can also try these two methods:

1. Segment your data

2. Plot your data in a R map

For the link of R map, please refer to this video：
