15. Maps: Showing Maharashtra on a Map

Come on, now let us show our Maharashtra on a map! In this module we see how to plot the dark stores of Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Kolhapur, Mumbai and Sambhaji Nagar on a map, how geocoding works, and how to avoid wrong bubbles.

What you will learn in this module

  • Map vs filled map vs shape map vs Azure map vs ArcGIS for Power BI
  • Data categories (City, State or Province, Postal code, Latitude, Longitude)
  • Avoiding wrong geocoding with a full location column
  • Latitude/longitude for dark stores, bubble size and colour saturation
  • Settings needed to enable map visuals, and a complete Maharashtra map example

Live story: Dark stores on the Maharashtra map

Suppose the Blinkit operations team asks: "Where are our dark stores, and which ones are late?" A table of store names does not show distance or clusters. A map with one bubble per store does. This chapter plots Pune, Mumbai, Nashik, Nagpur, Kolhapur and Sambhaji Nagar stores, and fixes bubbles that land in the sea.

All numbers in this story are fictional practice data.
