Fusion Tables - Limitations

• Symbology - unable to change the color and/or symbol used to display your tabular data on Fusion Tables. Note the Google team is working on this, see New features for Google Fusion Table's 1st birthday!
• Unable to zoom or pan a fusion intensity map. It appears one can zoom or pan a normal map which just displays points.
• Intensity map is NOT available at the County level. See Forum - Intensity Map

How to display GIS data on Fusion Tables

• Step 1: data format setup
  • GIS data must be in Latitude/Longitude decimal degrees. See Google Fusion Tables Help - What types of geographic data can I map?
  • It appears Fusion tables wants the Longitude values negative when displaying data in the USA. Typically, the negative value is dropped when discussing Lat/Long and assumed or implied the negative value is there. (see Mapping with your own data)
• Step 2: import data
