Background Map Boundaries

shasheminassab — Thu, 08 Jun 2023 16:41:50 GMT

I'm using JMP17, and none of the boundaries in the "Set Background Map" window show up on the graph (e.g., US Counties, US States, etc.). I changed the color and thickness of the boundaries in "Customize," but they still do not appear on the map. I didn't have this problem on previous versions of JMP. Any help is appreciated.

Please explain the steps you take to create the map. You should be able to see the boundaries without any customization.

@Mark_Bailey

I simply added latitude and longitude to the x and y axes, then right-clicked on the map > Graph > Background map.. and enabled "Street Map Service" and "US Counties," but the county borders do not appear on the map. I tried it on two different machines and they both have the same issue. See attached.

make sure the drawing order puts the base map first, then the counties.

The background map will hide anything that is drawn earlier.

@Craige_HalesI think I figured it out! The problem exists only when I am in JMP Project. Outside of the Project, I can see the boundaries! So it must be a bug. I had a similar problem a few months ago, but with the conditional local data filter for dashboards that didn't work in JMP Project but worked fine outside of it.: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-to-make-conditional-local-data-filter-in-dashboard/td-p/559651
