The Advanced layout uses the value to indicate what information is mapped
when the area on the map is highlighted. For example, to create a map
showing last year’s sales for the countries, the Last Year’s Sales field would
be the value.

To map on a details field
1. On the Insert menu, click Map.
Tip: Another way to do this is to click the Insert Map button on the Insert
Tools toolbar.
The Map Expert dialog box appears.
2. On the Data tab, in the Layout area, click Advanced, if it is not already
selected.
3. In the Placement area, in the Place map list, specify how often your map
appears on the report, then click Header or Footer to specify where to
place your map.
4. In the Data area, add the database field you want to base your map on to
the Geographic field.
The arrow buttons on the Map Expert dialog box allow you to move fields
from one list to the other. Single arrows move only the selected field;
double arrows move all fields at the same time.
Note: You must map on a geographic field, such as City, Region, or
Country; otherwise, Crystal Reports cannot generate your map.
