Overview
Geospatial visualization helps identify patterns, trends, and relationships that are tied to specific locations. It is essential for urban planning, logistics, environmental science, and marketing.
Common Techniques
- Choropleth Maps: Areas are shaded based on a value.
- Heatmaps: Showing density of points.
- Dot Distribution Maps: Each dot represents an occurrence.
- Flow Maps: Showing movement between locations.
- 3D Maps: Adding a vertical dimension to represent a value.
Tools
- GIS software (QGIS, ArcGIS)
- Web mapping libraries (Leaflet, Mapbox, Google Maps API)
