Regions in GeoMaps
A region view rolls your points up into official boundaries and shades each one by what's inside it. The result is a choropleth map — the classic "darker means more" picture — built straight from your own data, with no manual coloring.
Choose to shade by a count of records, a sum of a numeric field, or an average, and GeoMaps assigns each region a tier and color automatically. Hover a region to see its exact value. It's the clearest way to show performance or coverage by state, county, ZIP or postcode.
It's part of GeoMaps' visualization tools, so it works hand in hand with the rest of your map.

Regions FAQ
- What's a choropleth map?
- It's a map where each region is shaded by a value — like revenue or customer count — so darker or warmer regions stand for higher numbers. GeoMaps builds one straight from your points.
- What can I shade regions by?
- You can shade by a count of records in each region, a sum of a numeric field, or an average.
- Which regions can I use?
- You can shade official boundaries such as states, counties, ZIP codes and postcode areas, drawn from GeoMaps' built-in boundary sets.
- Can I see a region's exact number?
- Yes. Hover over a region and GeoMaps shows its name and the exact aggregated value behind its color.
