Hi
I have a question for you: Is it possible to integrate Google Maps in report studio like this
I have a report with: Client location and assets under management in USD. I want to use the geographic client data (county or country), and render circles on the map illustrating the size of assets under management for each country/region.
I have managed to integrate this somehow, manually, by using langtitude and lattitude, but I was hoping to be able to use the country names, either directly or indirectly through through geocoding.
Thanks in advance, I really apreciate your help. :)
There are various ways to do what you want. There are some limited built-in mapping abilities, but you specifically mentioned integration with Google maps so I assume you want more than that. Here are some links to get you started.

Hi ,
please follow the steps below
1)From the 'Insertable Objects' toolbox, drag a hyperlink object onto the report as a
new column
2)Change its Text property to Map. Set the URL Source Type to Report Expression and
define the report expression as follows:
for eg: 'http://maps.google.com/maps?q=' + [Query1].[City]
3)Run the report to test it.
