Pin Drops, Heat Maps, Tile Grids, and Overlays: 4 Types of Maps

Thumbnail

This week, I'm working on budget templates for a foundation; a Dataviz Style Guide and PowerPoint templates for another foundation; and a scorecard for a school district. I'm also planning out the new lessons for my Dashboard Design course. The perfect mix of consulting and training!

I've got a new YouTube lesson for you, too.

In this week's YouTube tutorial, Sue Griffey will show you 4 different types of maps. All 4 can be made in free software you already have.
