the Pro_SSRS project in the Source Code/Download area for the book on the Apress Web site
(www.apress.com). Double-click on the Map control in the Toolbox to start the Map Wizard. The first
thing we need to do is let the map control know where we are going to get the spatial data from. We are
going to use the map gallery (which is the default), so ensure that the radio button is selected, and then
choose the USA by State Inset under the Map Gallery tree list, as shown in Figure 5-12. When you select a
particular Map Gallery, you are shown a preview of your selection.

wizard. On this screen, you have the option to set your zoom level, modify the resolution settings, and
add in a Bing Maps layer. For now, let’s just keep the defaults on this and click Next to continue on to
Choose map visualization as shown in Figure 5-13.
