The art of geospatial storytelling: Mapbox Boundaries in Tableau
summary
Mapbox supplies a global dataset with postal, administrative and legislative polygons that plugs into Tableau to tag, aggregate and render large spatial datasets. Live demos show a choropleth of Starbucks (66 stores in Nebraska, 1,261 in a “central west” region), a custom Mapbox-styled congressional districts background used to offload geometry for better performance, and a vessel dataset of 226 million rows visualized in Tableau Desktop using Mapbox tiles, tile-query and flat files — all interactive and performant.
