Introduction

In the previous chapters, you learned how to build interactive visualizations to present different features in a dataset across features that represent different strata and different time points. In this chapter, you are going to add another type of visualization to your skillset – plotting interactive visualizations with geographical data.

Most datasets generated in today's world involve some features depicting spatial or geographical aspects. For example, users of social media platforms are characterized by the different parts of the world they reside in, world development metrics are calculated for different countries in the world, transportation routes span many different locations across the globe, and so on. Therefore, it is essential to learn systematic ways to understand and present such information in a digestible yet insightful manner. This chapter will help you develop this ability by providing the necessary tools to generate a variety of plots...
