Geospatial Features in MongoDB with Jaspersoft
Lately I have been posting technical examples to the Jaspersoft community wiki instead of this blog. I'll cross-post this one because there are not many examples of doing this. When working with Geospatial data, I found the $near operator to be pretty sweet. Let me show you by example. In the screenshots below you'll see that I constructed a report that shows "cases" on a map. When you click on a specific case you will be taken to a detail level report.
