Locations on the map are displayed as map markers, bubble markers, or
color-coded areas. Tapping a location displays an Information Window with

You can display data in the Map widget in the following ways:
• Display your data using static images as map markers. You can define a
threshold on this metric to change the image used for the map markers.
For information on defining thresholds on a metric, see the
MicroStrategy Web Help.
• Display your data using bubble markers. The size of each bubble marker
is automatically determined based on the value of the metric on the
columns of the widget. You can define a threshold on this metric to
change the color of the bubble markers. For information on defining
thresholds on a metric, see the MicroStrategy Web Help.
• Display your data as areas color-coded based on the population density of
locations on the map. For example, you can display areas with a high
concentration of stores in red, and areas with a low concentration of
stores in blue.
• Create and format a custom Information Window, which is a pop-up
window that displays additional data, for the Map widget. For steps to
define an Information Window, see Providing additional information to
users: Information Windows, page 20.
• Filter the locations displayed on a Map widget to view only those
locations that meet certain criteria. For example, if store locations are
displayed on the widget, you can limit the displayed stores to only those
