Use an orthographic projection to display the planet as an interactive globe.

Using the mapping tool to easily create heat maps. You only need to set light and dark color, and if your areas/countries/states have values assigned, the map will automatically choose the intermediate color corresponding to the value.

Composite map markers. Compbine several elements into a single map marker. In this example an animated SVG image and text label were combined and placed on certain coordinates on the map, therefore they move with the map.

Maps allow adding “heat rules” that bind color, opacity, and a bunch of other properties to actual scale of values from data.

Create complex multi-chart and map synchronized timeline animations.

Combine with an XYChart for an interactive classic Age Pyramid.
