Multiple Titles
Nevron Map for SharePoint supports unlimited number of map titles. Map titles which can be manually positioned or docked to map or map area.

Map Templates
Nevron Map for SharePoint supports saving and loading templates. Save the map state from the designer to XML and then import it in in a different map web part. The Map web part is forward and backward compatible meaning you can easily convert maps generated with different versions of SharePoint.

Map Layers

Nevron Map for SharePoint supports unlimited number of map layers. Each map layer can display either a predefined or custom ESRI map. The report item comes with the following build-in maps:

  • Map of the World
  • Map of USA
  • Maps for all USA states

Additionally you can import any map that is available in ESRI format. The ESRI map import loads both ESRI geospatial and database data, so that you can perform data binding on both predefined and custom ESRI maps. Each map layer can have its own settings for fill rule, display on legends and dynamic shape appearance and action.

Map Fill Rules

When making choropleth maps you are often required to fill the map using a filling rule that splits the input dataset to a user defined number of ranges. Nevron Map for SharePoint supports both two color and three color filling rules with a user specified number of ranges. The dataset is automatically split to the specified ranges according to one of the following distribution rules:

  • Equal - also known as quantiles, this method allows for unequally sized data intervals and involves adjustment of the interval limits until an equal number of data points can be slotted into each interval.
  • Equal Interval - also known as equal ranges (or steps), this method involves division of the entire data range into equally sized intervals.
  • Optimal - adjusts the size of data intervals in order to minimize the classification error and thus the map looks more balanced and the results seem more correct, with just a few shapes in the highest class as one would expect.

Map Projections

In order to see geographical data on a 2D device such as a monitor or printer, that data needs to projected to a 2D plane using a map project, that transforms longitude/latitude coordinates to 2D coordinates. Nevron Map for SharePoint supports 22 map projections including:

  • Aitoff
  • Bonne
  • Cylindrical Equal-Area
  • Equirectangular
  • Eckert IV
  • Eckert VI
  • Hammer
  • Kavrayskiy VII
  • Mercator
  • Miller Cylindrical
  • Mollweide
  • Orthographic
  • Robinson
  • Stereographic
  • Van der Grinten
  • Wagner VI
  • Winkel Tripel

Map Parallels and Meridians

Nevron Map for ShartePoint features full control over the map parallels and meridians visibility, appearance and step. You can choose to display parallels and meridians with fine, normal or coarse density. Parallels and meridians can be displayed behind or above the map.

Map Bounds, Centering and Zooming

Nevron Map for SharePoint allows you to control the displayed geographical bounds in several ways:

  • Fit To Bounds - the map is fitted to automatically determined bounds or custom ones. You can individually specify automatic or custom min and/or max longitude and/or latitude values for the map bounds.
  • Fit To Layer - the map is fitted to the content of a user specified layer. This is useful when you display multiple layers and want to zoom to a specific one.
  • Fit to Data Bound Shapes - not all shapes of the map can be bound to the respective layer data table. This mode lets you zoom only to the shapes which are bound to data.
  • Fit to Matching Shapes - lets you fit the map to the shapes that match a specific criteria.

Nevron Map for SharePoint can be zoomed to a user specified zoom percent.

Nevron Map for SharePoint can also be centered in several ways:

  • Center To Percents - the map is centered to use specified percents relative to the current map bounds.
  • Center To Layer - the map is centered to a specific map layer.
  • Center To Data Bound Shapes - not all shapes of the map can be bound to the respective layer data table. This mode lets you center the map to the shapes which are bound to data.
  • Center To Matching Shapes - lets you center the map to the shapes that match a specific criteria.
