Mapping and Visualization

Mapping and visualization involve representing data or information visually, often geographically, to help understand complex patterns and relationships. Mapping typically refers to creating visual representations of spatial data on maps—such as locations, routes, or distributions—making it easier to analyze spatial relationships. Visualization encompasses a broader range of techniques like charts, graphs, and infographics that transform raw data into visual formats. Together, they enable viewers to interpret information quickly, identify trends, and communicate insights effectively, whether for planning, decision-making, or understanding phenomena.
