Vector Maps

Vector maps display data by country or region without needing an internet connection. They use built-in geographic boundaries, making them ideal for fast, reliable analysis in offline or performance-sensitive environments. Vector maps highlight trends, distributions, and comparisons on a global or regional scale to support data-driven decisions.

Example use cases​

example
  • Resource allocation by territory: Monitor inventory, deployments, or workforce distribution by region or sales territory using built-in map boundaries.
  • Performance comparison: Compare metrics like profitability, population, or service coverage between countries or regions—without relying on internet-based maps.
