Hi Team, Can we visualize the data at the US Census Tract level using the Geo charts (Pushpins) method? Under my environment, I do not see the option to visualize data at the US Census Tract level; I can only visualize information at the state and county levels. This limitation undermines the effectiveness of the data visualizations. Geo Charts (Pushpins) | GoodData Cloud https://github.com/Graphicacy/census-tract-with-mapbox Thank you, AJ

Hi AJ, this is not supported out of the box, however, If you have the latitude and longitude for each record (e.g., centroid of the Census tract), you can store them as numeric fields and configure the Pushpin chart to use them directly, bypassing the need for the Platform to match by tract name.
May I know what is the use case? Or what you are trying to achieve?

Thank you, can we load census track shape-files see this video around 9 min mark:

Moreover, under the support documents says that GoodData is using Mapbox for Geo Charts. Can we also enable additional Mapbox boundaries under our GoodData environment https://demos.mapbox.com/boundaries-explorer/?country=US&layer=sta4&worldview=US#11.77/37.7569/-122.4497/-1.4

Hi AJ, our apologies for the delay in getting back to you here. But unfortunately, we do not support shape-files at this time. However, I will be happy to mark this as “Product feedback” on your behalf, and this will then be reviewed by our Product team and will be considered for future development. Regarding the Mapbox boundaries, please let me reach out internally to see if I can get more info on this for you. Thanks for bearing with us in the meantime.
Hi AJ, can you please tell what additional Mapbox boundaries you’d like to see moving forward so we can also mark this for additional Product feedback?

Thank you so much, and I need USA Census track boundaries for my GoodData project.

Hi AJ, thank you for the details. I have submitted product feedback on your behalf for our engineers to consider introducing further improvements to the Geo Chart visualization. However, please understand that at this time I am unable to provide any ETA or guarantee that the feature will be developed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Thank you so much! Please let them know that I use GoodData as part of the EAB platform, and over 2,5000 educational institutions will benefit from this improvement.

Thank you very much, and one last technical comment, we need the Mapbox "mapbox.boundaries-sta4-v4" see table below: Mapbox Boundaries v4 | Mapbox Boundaries | Mapbox Docs | Mapbox
