Different visualization techniques, such as choropleth maps, heat maps, proportional symbol maps, dot density maps, and animated time-series maps, are used to represent various types of data and achieve specific goals. These maps can be particularly useful for decision makers, analysts, storytellers, and others who need to draw insights from their data or tell a powerful story about the world around us. By selecting the right type of map and techniques, users can unlock new dimensions in understanding their data and make informed business decisions.
