14. Visuals and Their Formatting
14.12 Map, Filled Map, Shape Map and Azure Map (Summary)
| Visual | One-line summary |
|---|---|
| Map (bubble) | Bubbles at locations, sized by a measure |
| Filled map | Colours whole areas (states/districts) by value |
| Shape map | Colours regions from a custom TopoJSON map (preview feature) |
| Azure map | Modern map with layers (bubble, heat map, 3D columns, reference layers) |
Module 15 covers maps fully, including geocoding (नावावरून नकाशावरील जागा ठरवणे), data categories, latitude (अक्षांश)/longitude and the settings needed to enable map visuals.
Ravindra Bagale's Tip
Ek goshta lakshat theva: A frequent mistake is using the filled map for city points; it colours regions, not points. Use a bubble map (Map or Azure Map) for city and store points, and filled or shape maps for areas like districts. Module 15 has the details and the geocoding tips. Ha niyam lakshat theva.
