Location, location, location! Everyone working with spatial data wants to know the WHERE in their data. This session covers real-world use cases—from insurance and farming to pirates and housing—and explores how to solve and visualize challenging location-based questions. Together, we’ll address map projection, how Tableau handles local projections (so you don’t have to), how spatial files can help, how to leverage the spatial features of databases to answer questions, and more.
