Map

The Map Component in Akuko enables you to visualize geographic data in an interactive and engaging way within your data stories. Whether you want to display regional trends, analyze spatial patterns, or present location-based insights, the Map Component empowers you to create informative and visually appealing maps.

Key Features

Geographic Data Visualization

The Map Component allows you to visualize geographic data by plotting points, shapes, or heatmaps on a map canvas. You can use this feature to display locations, regions, or any other geospatial information relevant to your data.

Customizable Markers and Styles

You have full control over the appearance of markers on the map. Customize markers' size, color, icon, and labeling to convey the information effectively. Tailor the map's style to match your data story's aesthetics.

Data Binding and Filtering

The Map Component supports data binding from various sources. You can connect it to datasets containing geographic coordinates, addresses, or place names. Additionally, you can apply data filters to show specific subsets of data on the map dynamically.
