Points on map - how can I add static data points to the map?

Question & Answer
1

Hi,

I have a Points on map graph that display two columns from my data frame, latitude and longitude. However, I would like to display on the same map some static points that are also given as latitude and longitude. Is there any way to do this in Quicksight?

Thanks
Luminita

The only way I could think of would be to union values at the dataset level.

I know you can’t add geospatial fields in a calculated field so you would have to do it at the dataset level.

You would need to do this in SQL because there is no option for unions in the QuickSight console.

If you go down this path I would also add a location type so that you can distinguish what is a static value vs what is a value from the dataset.
