Summary

In this chapter, we explored how to extend Tableau’s mapping capabilities without leaving the interface by capturing Tableau-generated latitude and longitude data and how to look this up on Google. We created polygons and a heatmap for Texas based on a .shp file as well as a dashboard with a dual map axis and another dashboard with 4 map layers. Next, we explored various ways to extend Tableau’s mapping using other technology. We connected to a WMS server and then explored the Mapbox offering, followed by an excursion to the world of polygons.

In the next chapter, we will explore using Tableau for presentations. Specifically, we will look at how to get the best images out of Tableau, how to effectively and efficiently use Tableau with PowerPoint, and how to use Tableau directly for presentations without relying on third-party tools.
