Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to create maps to display region-based geographical data. The maps are used in executive dashboards to display business data such as revenue by regions, census data such as population by state, and election results, effectively.
Specifically we covered:
How to create a simple map with range-based data having appropriate color codes
How to map the IDs of entities stored in your internal system or database to the ones preset in FusionMaps
How to create drill-down from one map to another, say continent to country or country to state
In the next chapter, we will see how to select the right chart type for the data we have and the analysis we want to facilitate.
