Can you provide examples of real-world applications where the Ultimate World Map Collection has been used for data visualization?

There are several alternative methods to visualize geographical data in Excel or Google Sheets. In Excel, you can use the Power Map or 3D Map feature, which allows you to plot geographic and temporal data visually, analyze that data in 3D, and create cinematic tours to share with others. You can also use the Power View to create interactive maps with a drag-and-drop interface. In Google Sheets, you can use the GeoChart tool to create a map of a country, a continent, or the world, where the data is displayed as a color gradient. You can also use the Google Maps add-on to plot data on a map directly from the spreadsheet.

The Ultimate World Map Collection can be utilized by global companies like Google or Apple for visualizing data in several ways. Firstly, these companies can use the customizable features of the map to visualize data specific to different regions or countries. This can be done by replacing the state and zip code headers with whatever matches the country to visualize, such as postal code, state, province, region, principality, or anything else. Secondly, the filterable world map chart and filterable map charts for each major continent can be used to present data in a more digestible and visually appealing manner. This can aid in data analysis and decision-making processes.
