Plotalot support Geo Charts in four modes:

- Region Mode shows each defined region in a separate colour, with a numeric value that determines the region's colour, and can be used to convey numeric data for the region. The example above is Region Mode.
- Markers by Address Mode places markers at named locations on the map with tooltips that can convey numeric data.
- Markers by Latitude/Longitude Mode is like Markers by Address Mode but uses coordinates instead of names.
- Text Mode shows the location name on the map.
