Cognos Mapping Mashups

The document discusses how Cognos provides rich built-in mapping visualizations but they lack features of third party map services like Google Maps. It describes how web service maps can be fully integrated into Cognos Report Studio using JavaScript to overcome these limitations. Various mapping features are demonstrated such as overlays, markers, user input filtering and combining multiple overlays to create advanced visualizations, showing the potential of mashing Cognos reports with web maps.
