Elevate Storytelling with Local Maps

Sometimes, standard map solutions may not offer the level of detail required to effectively present your data. For instance, when reporting sales results for specific LATAM countries or election outcomes for local districts, you need maps that are more customized and precise. Infogram provides the solution by allowing you to create your own local maps.To use local maps, you'll need an InfogramEnterprise plan, which enables collaborative map creation for multiple projects, saving you time and effort.The process for creating custom maps with Infogram is straightforward:

1. Upload your custom map files to your library, selecting from file formats like JSON, GeoJSON, KML, or TopoJSON.
2. Configure map parameters, including ID, labels, and groups.
3. Design and customize your map to align with your unique requirements and preferences.

When creating custom maps, it's important to follow these best practices:

• Choose the map type that aligns with your project's goals, whether it's an area map for showing distributions within larger regions or an icon map for highlighting specific locations.
• Customize maps with a clean and appealing design. Utilize Infogram's editing features to select suitable text fonts, sizes, layouts, legend styles, and color schemes. Ensure that the map design aligns with your company's branding.
• Go beyond the map borders by experimenting with different output formats, such as downloading the map project in various formats or embedding it on the web. Enhance user engagement by using callouts to provide additional context and consider creating infographics that combine maps with charts, tables, text, images, and more for a comprehensive storytelling experience. Simplicity and clarity are key to avoid overwhelming visualizations.
