How to use EasyMap Charts from start to export

1. Map data chooses the boundary collection

Start with World Map for countries and regions, First-level Divisions for states, provinces, departments, or regions, and Detailed Map for supported national detail. This choice controls which boundaries and administrative levels are available; it does not change your values.

For a country-level overview, continue with the world map guide. For Chinese province, city, or county work, use the China administrative map guide.

2. Administrative areas defines what can receive data

Choose one final level, then select the areas that should appear in the review table. Single select keeps the decision simple; enable multiple selection only when you need several countries or parent areas. Map extent changes the surrounding context without deleting selected data.

3. Input data offers three equally valid routes

Manual input is fastest for a few areas. Paste Table accepts two columns for area maps or three columns for flow lines. Upload File reads CSV, TXT, XLSX, and XLS locally; if a workbook has several sheets, choose the sheet after import.

See the Excel-to-map workflow for copied cells and the CSV-to-map guide for file structure and encoding.

4. Match review is the accuracy checkpoint

The original input name stays beside the standardized map name and numeric value. Correct ambiguous or unmatched rows here; every edit updates the live map. Clicking a mapped area also brings its review row into view.

Use the place-name matching guide when abbreviations, languages, or duplicate names need attention.

5. Presentation and style controls how values are compared

Choose choropleth color classes for rates and comparable indicators, proportional bubbles or bars for magnitude, and flow lines for origin-destination data. Then choose a classification method and palette that fit the meaning of the values.

The choropleth classification guide explains equal intervals, quantiles, natural breaks, and logarithmic classes.

6. Labels finishes the explanation inside the map

Edit the title and subtitle, choose the place-name language, show or hide region and value labels, name the legend, enter a unit, and adjust label size. The unit belongs in the legend rather than after every feature value, which keeps dense maps readable.

Check the map label guide before exporting a dense country or county map.

7. Export sets the final output, not the analytical result

Choose the aspect ratio, output size, font, and PNG, JPEG, or SVG format. Review the map at its intended final size because labels that look clear on a large browser canvas may become crowded in a slide.

Use the presentation export guide for PowerPoint and report-ready settings.
