Import

To import, the file must be in csv format with four columns. The column names are (from left to right) "city", "state", "country", "count" (all lower cases).

! The demo app uses Google's free Geocoding API which allows for up to 2500 queries/day. Please limit your import file to a few rows. If you wish to do a massive data visualization, download the source code and modify geocoder's setting with your API key. Instructions Here.
