How do I create maps with colored tiles?

Colored tiles are the shapes of the country’s administrative hierarchy. For example, each region has a shape and this shape can be colored.

To create a map with colored tiles:

1. Open ‘Settings.’
2. On the ‘General’ tab from the ‘Selected field’ dropdown, select the indicator for which you would like to make the map.
3. Then on the same page, from the ‘Display’ dropdown, select ‘Colored tiles.’

By default, tiles and dots will be blue on the map. See the ‘Filter and Color’ section on how to define the color of your tiles.
