    I need a map of India,South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
    Where can I get these? Excel Files I can generate.

    Have you got an Idiot's Guide - pdf or YouTube video on how to operate this utility - step by step from log-in?

    Hi Peter,
    If you send us a free map of Nepal, in any GIS format (SHP, Mapinfo and so on), we will add it.

    Thanks.

    What if I have dynamic data? If there a way TargetMap could update my map every 5 minutes or so?

    I lost my map and I saved it numerous times! It is called annual rainfall. It has the rainfall of every country in (mm). It is completely gone and not under my maps. I even saved it on my desktop, but when I open it. It goes to a blank map. How do I get my map back? I spent hours on it

    Baker, probably you deleted the excel related to the map you were doing, and with that, you deleted also the map. We try to find a solution for this, but if it was that what happen your map is lost. We are sorry about that. Thank you for your patience.

    Hi Fernando,
    No prob at all, you can publish shared reports, this is what targetmap public profiles is all about, sharing & spreading information thru maps.

    Hi, I'm from Mexico, I work in a Geomatics Research Center. My team and I are creating a map using a database with the municipalities of certain states, but we face a problem: several Mexican municipalities have the same name, in different status. When we uploud our database with the municipalities of Coahuila, for example, one of them (Arteaga), is shown in a different state (Michoacán), since the municipality of Arteaga exists in both status (Coahuila and Michoacán). The same problem comes up with several other municipalities. My questions are: What criteria do you use to relate the name of municipalities to the map? How can we help to solve this problem? Could you assign a specific code to each municipality, to avoid this problem?

    Thank you, greetings.

    Second, I'm trying to reach contributor, "Portugalwaterhardness" as there are some very good maps he/she has created, but with no comments on the information source. Any ideas?

    Hi Greg,

    We are thinking about this posibility in future releases, but nowadays you can't display data by area codes. You can use pin points instead.

    Hallo everybody,
    I'm a Premium user having some trouble with what I usually call tartegmap's personal blue screen of death. Some options, like the new pie-chart, prompt a message on the blueish screen of yours. My problem is that as the blue+popup message appears, I am not able to do anything, neither click 'cancel' nor 'ok', the only thing I can do is close the window and start again from the beginning. Kind of annoying. It also happens when an .xls file upload goes wrong and in some other occasions. I think your first goal right now should be to fix these issues asap.
    Btw, I'm on a Mac OSX 10.5, working on the map of Italy.
    Greetings,

    Hi,

    This is an issue of Flash Plugin for Mac, it doesn't treat well these kind of popup messages. It seems to work better in Chrome, but it freezes the screen too. We will try to fix it as soon as possible, preferently this afternoon.

    Thank you for your feedback and our apologies for the inconveniences.

      Great, now the BSOD is no more a nightmare. It allows me to 'cancel' and continue my job. Thank you very much for such a fast and efficient support, it really makes it worth the money.
      Another couple of suggestions:

      - It would be great to have .ods files supported. For a service like yours, that counts on sharing information for free, the exclusion of ods formats sounds... weird. (I'm pretty sure you are already thinking about it!)

      - (difficult one) another HUGE improvement I would LOVE to see in a next future would be the possibility to connect to ODBC and/or support for Office/OpenOffice database.

      - Last but not least, and pretty much important, export format should allow to export in one BIG image the whole covered area, not only a screenshot, and also PDF would be useful.

      That's it,
      thanks again for such a great job.

    I am mapping our alumni by zip code however the resulting map isn't showing certain states but the file include alumni in those states. Is this because I am a not to share useer and it is only displaying 80% of my data or is there something wrong with my data file.

      It's because you are a not to share user and it's only displaying 80% of your records. When you upgrade to Premium you will be able to see all your records in your map.

      Hi,

      For now it is not possible to make a map with zip codes and make it public. But we are working in a few new ideas and we are thinking about letting use zip codes as "Share" users with a small fee. It won't be ready soon, I'm sorry. For now you can try to make a map by counties with a Share account and publish it.

      Our apologies for the inconveniences.

      I created a share account and created a map of alumni by county and then shared it. However, it is not showing all of the counties that have alumni. Is this back to the only using 80% of my data issue again? If so then I have created and shared a map that is inaccurate. If not, what is the problem?

      Hi, can you send us an e-mail to crew(at)targetmap.com? And tell us your user account and send us the Excel file you used. Maybe some of the counties doesn't have the correct name and you have to use "No-geo" feature to put the correct name that our system detects. It's an orange triangle with an exclamation mark that appears beside the buttons that are next to "Level detail" at the Map editor.

    Hello! I am super excited about this tool! One question that I haven't been able to find the answer to... I have about 4,000 lines of Excel data that I'd like to enter (we're a school and want to track where our graduates are). I am using the free private option, but do not see all of my data- by paying for the service, will that volume of pinpoints be allowed? Thanks so much!

      Hi,

      We've tested TargetMap with all the zip codes of United States and it works fine. It depends on your computer. So, with Premium account you won't have the "80% of records limit" and you will see everything.

    Hi,

    I wanted to ask your assistance in finding the resources or to way to contact the publisher regarding his sources of data.
    The map "Skin tone degree by country (Luschan Scale)" by Khina12 is based on Luschan scale. The Luschan scale range is 0-36, when dark skin tone is around 36. The max value in the map is 13.6 so I don't understand what is the exact meaning of the data.

    Thanks, Dror
