Before we begin

Interactive maps bring data to life, making it engaging and easy to explore. This Blueprint walks you through creating a map of the world’s highest mountains, where users can interact with data points for rich, informative details about each peak.

Interactive maps are more than visuals; they tell stories. With this guide, you’ll configure custom features such as detailed pop-ups and images for each mountain. By the end, you’ll have an engaging, shareable map ready to captivate and inform your audience.

What you can do with this Blueprint:

  • Display the highest mountains with precise locations.
  • Create clickable pop-ups with text, images, and links.
  • Customize map layers and styling for clarity and aesthetics.
  • Save and share your interactive map with others.
