Maps are a popular way to visualize data, but selecting the best options can be overwhelming and lead to mistakes. Beyond adding icons to a map or color-coding specific areas, Tableau has some useful, lesser-known options: hextile maps, pentagon maps, bivariate choropleth maps, value by alpha maps, heatmaps, hexbin, spider maps, and flow maps. Watch this webinar to see a comprehensive view of different mapping techniques, the advantages and limitations of each, how to determine which is best, and how to implement them in Tableau.
This is part of the All over the map: Visualizing geographic data webinar series.
