Lesson
In this tutorial, students explore the US States dataset and learn how to use latitude and longitude coordinates to create maps on Tuva. ![]720
Maps on Tuva Many datasets describe values that vary across space, such as temperature by city or measurements taken along a river. Maps provide visual context for this kind of data, making spatial patterns and variability easier to interpret. On Tuva, maps use latitude and longitude coordinates to place cases on a geographic background. Once mapped, you can explore location, scale, and spatial patterns, and enrich the map by adding additional attributes. [---cta ⚡ Ready to practice?
