15. Creating a Map: Link Maps to Dataset Columns
• Administration task, a one-off at system configuration stage!
• Import maps from Oracle MapViewer and associate themes keys with subject area
columns
• Columns then need to be included in the request criteria when map created
• Note - basic (state/county/global) data available on OTN, more detailed
data needs to be licensed from NAVTEC
