Tableau Advanced Mapping
COURSE DESCRIPTION
In Tableau Advanced Mapping, students learn to work with density maps, path maps, hexbin and use lat/long for maps. In addition, we work with irregular polygons, use external WMS servers and connect to Mapbox based maps. Students will see how to use custom background images for dynamic parameter driven mapping.
A fully interactive experience, our online classroom offers a unique opportunity to learn from and work with a subject matter expert. Students get practice performing the skills and can ask questions of the instructor in real time.
