You can pick a Choropleth map, a\u00a0Point (Dot) map, a\u00a0Proportional Symbol (Bubble) map, a Connector map, or a Flow map for your data.\u00a0What you specifically need to visualize (and for what exact purpose) should\u00a0determine the final chart choice, however.<\/p>\n<p>These map chart types are also explained in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anychart.com\/chartopedia\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chartopedia<\/a>\u00a0and grouped into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anychart.com\/chartopedia\/usage-type\/chart-to-show-location\/\" target=\"_blank\">Location<\/a> section.
