Display relationships on a map

Question

Hi all, is there any way to display relationships of a knowledge graph in a map? It works in a link chart with the geographic display option but it doesn't display the relationships when I add the knowledge graph to a map. I'm using version 3.1.2. Any ideas?

@MeganBanaski1 Ok, I see. I thought that it would be possible, because if the two entities linked by a relationship are spatial then the relationship itself would be spatial too. But I understand that the type of the relationship is not spatial, of course.

The reason why I ask is, that a colleague of mine saw the relationships of spatial entitites presented in a map in one of your videos so she thought it would be possible somehow.

Hello, thank you for the question! Relationships are not displayed in the map because the relationships are not spatial, therefore showing them in a map violates the rules of the map (to display spatial data). Is there a specific reason you are wanting to view the relationships in a map rather than using the geographic layout of the link chart?
