Map-Oriented Dashboards Online—From Minor Method to GIScience Trend
In recent years, dashboards have become very popular. Data providers from various industries discover the benefits of a visualization strategy based on the combination of several methods of expression. Since dashboards allow visualization by graphs, tables, schemes, charts, images, or maps, the combination of interactivity and an online platform provides a unique interface for viewing, understanding, and sharing both spatial and non-spatial data like no other method. This chapter focuses on aspects of map-oriented dashboards available online through the internet platform. As a part of Geographic Information Science (GIScience), they aim to implement geodata in complex relations. That is enabled by various visualization methods, including an overall design and cartographic aspects (point data, choropleth map) and typical mistakes. There is a number of both proprietary and open platforms available on the market (ArcGIS Dashboards, Google Data Studio, Power BI, etc.), which could be combined with different data sources (governments on the European/national/regional level, non-commercial organizations such as WHO, universities, media houses, etc.) to provide information for various topics (COVID-19 pandemic, elections, finances, demography, crisis management, etc.). While users benefit from a visually-oriented and user-friendly interface, developers and publishers must follow cartographic rules to provide the correct and fast interpretation within the multi-visualization data methods. The chapter analyzes and discusses aspects based on an analysis of 51 case studies, supported by knowledge and feedback gained from the real development of a map-oriented dashboard.
