About the Visibility of Formats in Map Views

The visibility of a format in a map view depends on various factors.

The factors on which visibility of a format depends:

• The zoom level on the map and the "zoom range" of the format. For example, a Color Fill format for States is visible when state boundaries are visible and it’s turned on, but is no longer visible when the map is zoomed out to the Continent level.
• The data point limit. Formats are generally visible when they are zoomed into view and are turned on, but they might not be displayed if a particular layer has exceeded its maximum number of data points.

Custom point formats are unique in that they are displayed on the map always, for all zoom levels.

Format data is displayed in the legend only when the format is both turned on and zoomed into view. A format is turned on when the box beside its name is selected in the Map Formats area.

The map can’t display multiple non-point formats at a time (at a single zoom level) but can display multiple point formats simultaneously, if they don’t share the same latitude and longitude location. If multiple graph formats are specified at the same geographic layer, then they are displayed on top of each other.
