[Question] Display postal code shapes with this model?

[ChrizZz90]

Sorry I don't know where I should ask this question, probably this isn't the right place...

I am searching a grafana modul to show data based on postal codes and display the shapes of them. F.e. in Germany there are geojson files with postal code shapes: https://www.suche-postleitzahl.org/plz-karte-erstellen

Is it possible to use this model to display the shapes? Do I just need the geojson coordinates as a reference?

Thanks & Sorry for crashing the issues log

Hi @ChrizZz90,

thanks for writing in.

While I haven't looked into this in more detail, the Grafana Map Plugin by @orchestracities [1] might already offer respective functionality to display GeoJSON features on top of a map. Whether this would also include shapes defined by polygon lines is currently beyond what I was able to grasp from quickly skimming the code. Maybe @chicco785 can elaborate a bit on this detail?

We are currently humbly getting in touch about eventually working together, see orchestracities/map-panel#34 and #87.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

Thanks for the hint with the Grafana Map Plugin, Andreas! In my mind it would be a very good idea to have one powerful map plugins in Grafana instead of multiple ones with specials.

In the meantime I set up my Postgres database with PostGIS and transformed the GeoJSON to geometry data of PostGIS. Based on that I am able to create JSON or just query results in most of the known formats. But seems like the bigger barrier is to display poligons (multi poligons) instead of points.

I will follow up this topic with the orchestracities team (@chicco785), because I failed to get it running :/

I don't know if I should close this issue or not, @amotl it's your decision of you want to have it as a possible improvement.
