Is your feature request related to a problem? If so please describe.

Provide the ability to view returned data in a map.

Describe the solution you'd like

A button in the third window that says "Preview Map". Selecting the button produces a list of the statistical variables that will be returned, a selector for each to request a map for that variable, and another selector (defaults to false) for the whole window that says 'Availability Map' (if true all maps just show where data is available). Values in each area are color coded along a spectrum that goes from minimum to maximum returned value. The map fills in contoured areas based on the location type. Multiple maps can be requested in one run. Map can be scaled a lot to increase size/focus on limited area; default scaling fits the scale of the returned data (smushing AK and HI into a corner somewhere). Mousing over the map shows value under the mouse button. Supports numeric and CV term value types (includes boolean).

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

  • Automatically provide the map in a separate window from the data.
  • Allow assignment of colors to range of values.
  • Date types? (can't think of a use case)

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

This is primarily a data validation tool, to see if the data looks reasonable for the calculations. However, it can also be used to produce print-ready maps suitable for publication, e.g., to show data coverage or comparative data. In particular, it could be used to show coverage of a variable as it is chosen.
