Use the new Map visualization to view geographic data

A new Map option is now available to create visualizations for data with a geographic component.

Map option for visualizations

Both the new Map and the existing Legacy map visualizations are available for use. Any books that contain a Legacy map remain unchanged; Legacy maps are not automatically converted to the new Map visualization.

The new Map visualization provides improvements in geographic dimension identification, general usability, and error warnings. For example, you can easily search for locations directly from the map.

Example of Map search

Additionally, if your data contains unrecognizable locations or data outliers, you can view that information while you create or use a Map.

Map notifications

Another advantage of the new Map visualization is that you can use integration with Mapbox to display custom polygons or layers in your maps.
