Foundations of Data Visualization - Session 4: Introduction to Mapping

Tableau aims to make creating beautiful and insightful maps simple - with instant geocoding, you can get to the “where” and the “why” of your data in just a few clicks. This session with Senior Product Manager at Tableau, Ashwin Kumar, is designed to give you all the information you’ll need to start building maps today. In addition to creating maps, we will discuss how to utilize color and size effectively and troubleshoot common mapping errors.

Join Ashwin in this introductory mapping webinar to learn how to: 

• Define and use spatial files
• Build different types of maps using geocoding and spatial connectors
• Create a dashboard with multiple visualizations to easily spot outliers and uncover patterns

This is part four of the six-part Foundations of data visualization webinar series. Looking for more advanced mapping techniques? Join us over the next two sessions as we dive into best practices, lesser-known map types, and geographic data analysis.
