Apache Superset’s geospatial visualization features are valuable in use cases such as analyzing location-based data, tracking assets or events, and identifying patterns or trends across geographic regions. Examples include monitoring disease outbreaks, optimizing delivery routes, studying environmental impacts, and visualizing sales performance by region.
To set up a geospatial visualization in Apache Superset:
1. Ensure your dataset contains latitude and longitude columns.
2. Create a new chart within a dashboard or explore view.
3. Select a geospatial chart type (e.g., deck.gl Scatterplot, deck.gl Polygon).
4. Map the required fields to their respective roles: Latitude to ‘Latitude’, Longitude to ‘Longitude’, and other relevant dimensions or metrics.
5. Customize additional settings like point size, color scale, opacity, and tooltip content.
6. Apply filters or groupings if needed for more granular analysis.
7. Save and add the chart to your dashboard.
