Map

A map renders all returned nodes, relationships and paths on a geographical map.

The visualization uses map tiles from Open Street Map. The tiles are hosted by Neo4j (not using public Open Street Map tiles).

Node positions are detected in the following order:

  1. Point property

    Any property of type Point containing a valid geographic coordinate (WGS 84 2D or 3D). The property can be named anything as long as the value is of type Point. Note that we do not we do not support 3D points.

  2. Fallback latitude / longitude

    If no Point property is found, the visualization looks for properties named exactly latitude and longitude. Both must exist.

  3. Fallback properties: lat / long If the above are not found, properties named exactly lat / long. Both must exist.

    If more than one spatial property is detected, the property for node placement can be changed in Settings.

Fallback properties latitude / longitude and lat / long are not configurable.

If a node has no detectable spatial properties it’s not displayed on the map. A Not detected label appears in Settings, and a warning message is shown in the preview.
