How to Build a Simple Geospatial Map

How This Workflow Works

This workflow identifies the ten most populated countries in 2022 and displays them on a map, using color to highlight differences in population size.

Key Features:

  • Identify and focus on the world's most populated countries
  • Enrich country data with geographic boundaries
  • Visualize population data on an interactive map
  • Highlight population differences using color

Step-by-step:

1. Select the Top 10 Most Populated Countries:

The workflow starts by analyzing population data and filtering it to keep only the ten countries with the highest population counts for 2022. This ensures the map focuses on the most significant population centers.

2. Enrich Data with Geographic Boundaries:

Next, the workflow adds geographic boundary information to each selected country. This step links each country to its corresponding polygon shape, which is necessary for accurate mapping.

3. Visualize and Share Insights:

Finally, the workflow displays the selected countries on a map, using color to represent population size. This visualization makes it easy to compare the most populated countries and share these insights with others.
