This summer, I am working as a visualization development intern in the JMP division of SAS. I currently study at Duke University, where this fall, I will be a junior pursuing dual majors in electrical and computer engineering and computer science. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, reading, and working on different electronics and programming projects. I am from the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
With JMP, you can easily show data geographically with maps. However, you can only show your data if the regions you want to show exactly match up with the regions JMP has in its installed maps, or any maps you might have. This makes showing data by larger divisions, like
JMP has the rather powerful capability to construct visualizations based on geographic data. However, in most cases JMP requires latitude and longitude coordinates for each item in order to map it. That many data sets lack this information limits the visualizations you can construct without individually finding coordinates for each
