I recently was asked about the different options of visualizing data in OBIEE on maps. Since many of the usual suspects (you’ll see form the link-list below) have already blogged about this, it is easiest to provide a list with all good and informative articles rather than writing a completely new post. Here goes:

If you have any other good links – preferably with examples and code snippets – post a comment and I will update the list. Maybe we will get this into a sticky thread on OTN.
See ya!
