everviz includes hundreds of different base maps covering a wide range of countries and regions. You can search the available options from the map maker dashboard. When you find a suitable base map, you can download a dataset file that lists the regions relevant to that template. You can use this list to check your data is assigned to recognized regions, ensuring it will display correctly when uploaded. Alternatively, if none of the available base maps are suitable you can upload your own as a GeoJSON file. Once you’ve chosen your base map, you can upload your data and check it is correctly assigned to the right regions. Next, you can proceed to format the appearance of your interactive map to meet your requirements and realize your vision.

everviz offers a range of different map types which are suitable for different data types. If you are looking to display locations on a map then a point map is a good choice. However, if you want to show data associated with these point locations then you might consider a bubble map: this displays each point location as a circle where the size of the circle is proportional to the magnitude of the data value. Category and choropleth maps are useful for showing data that applies to regions. The difference is that category maps display discrete values whereas in a choropleth the data is normalized for better comparison across different regions. So, for example, a category map might show total population by state, a choropleth might show population density by state. Different map types are good for different types of data depending on your aims. With everviz, you can test out different types to preview the appearance with your data.

With everviz, you can make use of various exciting and engaging options for displaying geographical data. Tilemaps and honeycomb maps are two excellent examples: These are attractive methods of presenting data that allocates each region an identically sized shape (e.g. circle or hexagon) that are positioned to maintain the approximate location of the region. The shape is colored according to the data, for example, they might be used to show the distribution of election results across a region. Another option for a creative visualization is the pattern fill map. This option allows a simple graphic to be used as the infill for a region which can create an impactful and engaging map.
