Video transcript for What is geo mapping

Geo-mapping is a powerful tool for creating maps using location data like sales numbers or demographics. It's a tool lets you easily interpret trends in your data.

For example, I want to filter to just the Chicago area. And I want to narrow my analysis to just those with a higher sales potential than $10,000.

So now I can reveal all of those points. But I want to hide some of the points, the ones below 5, 7, 10 and a half etc.

So only highlight the ones with $15,000 and above. And now I can see the locations and click on a pin to get customer details.

What is Geo Mapping?

Geo-mapping is the process of creating a map from raw, location-based data such as names, sales numbers, and demographics. By visualizing location data on maps, you immediately understand trends and new opportunities that could otherwise take hours to interpret.
