## Maps

A map is a special kind of image in JReport. It can be used to demonstrate data in a more intuitive way by using areas, however, the map features can only work in the PDF, HTML and DHTML report output formats.

This section describes the following tasks related to maps:

- Inserting a map
- Binding data to a map
- Adding conditional formats to map areas
- Binding links to map areas
- Controlling labels and summary fields on map areas

See an example: The SampleComponents catalog, included with JReport Designer, contains reports that have examples of how each component type could be used in a report. For the map component example, open `<install_root>\Demo\Reports\SampleComponents\MapReport.cls`.
