Reporting Services 3.0 Geographical Reports

  • Hello,

    with the new reporting services, i can build geographical reports. so i will display some customers on a landscape.

    Do someone know, where can i get a landscape from germany with postcodes and geographical datas ?

  • If you are willing to pay then there are a number if companies that sell them, I only know about uk companies but I assume Germany will have some suppliers..

  • What format do the landscape have ?

    Is there any free landscapes available for testing ?

  • they are ESRI shape files (.shp) , they were orignally used with ArcView but almost all GIS software applications can produce and read them.

    There are free ones available on Codeplex for testing

    for the UK

    but for any more detailed maps you will need to purchase them as they can get quite complex.

  • Hi thank you.

    What is with bing oder google maps ? Can i usw these ? I found some articels in the msdn about bing maps. But it is inexplicit what can i do with these maps. Can i point some information with geodata on a bing map ?

  • Yes you can use a Bing map layer, it is fairly easy to use this and is in a check-box option when you add a map control to your report.

    However the functionality of these maps is limited compared to what you are used to with bing maps. eg. no zoom functon

  • Hi,

    I am currently working on a report that uses geographical data of UK. But I am unable to access the Bing Layer.

    The question is.. Is Bing Layer in SSRS available for UK Maps or is it restricted only to US.

    Regards,

    M
