Using Custom Shape Map

Hey guys,

 

My first time using Shape Map for a customized map and so far haven't found a solution, actually not even sure what I am doing is possible. In summary I want to add layers on an actual global location which will then be color to show different scenarios.

 

So I have a set of coordinates 51° 57' 24" N / 4° 26' 13" E which are the location of the area (or will be used as a base or background) and I need to draw layers on top of it (layers are in the form of .topojson files), those layers need to change color based on different scenarios (example current scenario and three variants, you can see this on the Excel file link below).

 

Is this possible. If so below is one sample of the topojson files.

 

CURRENT - https://www.dropbox.com/s/1enurip8oqi5djk/CURRENT_20080428_231715-4c-KE_20.topojson?dl=0

 

VARIANT 1- https://www.dropbox.com/s/m1fdol7rb6ys4nj/VARIANT%201_20150312_044227_Alt-1-App133-RNAV_contour-48.0...

Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Moiz
