Displaying alerts of different thresholds on a map

The previous recipe was really useful in showing how we can incorporate alerts onto a map. However, the threshold values for all provinces were the same. In reality, this may not be the case for metrics, such as sales. For example, a province such as Nunavut is much smaller than Ontario, thus should not have the same sales threshold as Ontario.

Getting ready

Insert a Canadian map component onto the canvas and bind data to the map. We will use the data setup from the recipe, Integrating Google Maps with the GMaps plugin to select data of an area or country.
