Maps are an incredibly powerful visualisation tool when with working geospatial data. Number of customers per state? Easy. Average order value by UK postcode? Done. Burger Kings by zipcode? Not a problem. But what if you need a map "layer" that doesn't come out of the box with Looker? That's when you need to start looking at creating your own custom map visualizations for Looker. In this webinar, we cover how to generate the right region data, how to prepare and upload it to Looker, and how to use it in your dashboards.
This webinar is led by Dylan Baker, CEO at Spectacles. Before starting Spectacles, Dylan was a freelance consultant, working on dozens of Looker deployments and is well versed at building custom map visualizations.
