Hi steven,

Please find below the answers to your questions:

1. Look at the TeeMaps demo at C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart 707 for Delphi 7\Examples\TeeMaps, it shows how to add map data into a series.

2. TeeChart map format supported is .SHP files. The ESRI Shape (SHP) file format is a vector format created by the Environmental System Research Institute. SHP files support point, multi-point, polygon, polyline and multi-patches. Map series can also use any file format provided you can read them. All map series is about are poligons. You can search in the net for companies selling SHP files.
