About Module 6

Maps transform raw geographic data into compelling visual stories that reveal patterns impossible to see in traditional charts. In module 6, you’ll master geographic visualization in Tableau, learning to create diverse map types—from choropleth maps showing regional variations to heat maps revealing concentration patterns. You’ll explore fundamental mapping principles, prepare geographic data effectively, and discover advanced customization techniques using map layers and styling options to create professional maps that engage your audience and drive informed decision-making.


By the end of module 6, you will be able to:

  • Understand mapping principles and when to use different map types
  • Create various maps including choropleth, heat, and density maps
  • Format geographic data properly for Tableau mapping
  • Customize maps using layers and styling options
  • Design effective maps that clearly communicate your data insights
