AnyMap Overview

Interactive Maps is a unique feature of AnyChart component that allows you to visualize geographical related data.

We use the same swf file to render maps and charts - this allows you to combine maps and chart in the interactive dashboards and easily deploy both of them.

The maps themselves are stored in a separate file with "*.amap" extension, to render a desired map you just place this file and swf file on your server and specify it in XML settings file.
