Tableau geospatial analysis (Esri, Maaamet WMS etc)

After reading this news "SAP recently announced a partnership with Geo-Analytics provider Esri in hopes of enhancing spatial data analysis across multiple software products.Lumira already has spatial data mapping capabilities, so what makes Esri different? It’s about having more predefined visualizations available in the SAP library", I wondered how about Tableau?



Tableau mapping


With Tableau you can create filled, symbol, pie or what ever chart you want. Also you can  combine these charts how ever you like and change background layers - add different borders, names, water/no water etc. And you can zoom to very detail level (16x zoom)


Or show different paths on map


Tableau mapping (Estonia)


With Tableau you can create Estonian maps easily and even change your source data, when for example some districts are misspelled

Country=Estonia
State/Province=Maakond, Names like Harju, Lääne etc.
City=Tallinn, Tartu etc.


Tableau Custom Geomapping



You can add more smaller Cities or what ever you want if you like, just use custom geomapping


Or you can create totally new hierarchies (For Example Add RMK resthouses etc), just  you have to have Longitude and Latitude fail

Or create your own areas for example from ESRI shapes. For example show data by http://geoportaal.maaamet.ee/est/Andmed-ja-kaardid/Haldus-ja-asustusjaotus-p119.html
official borders: Maakond, Omavalitsus,Asutusüksus



Tableau and Maamet WMS service


As Tableau supports WMS (Web Map Service) services, there is  also opportunity to use WMS service http://kaart.maaamet.ee/wms/alus-geo?

Just add link and say on your visualization, that you want to use this map

Tableau allows connections to all WMS providers that support WMS 1.1.1 standard and EPSG:4326 geographic projections


And you can use many different layers from this service


Tableau and Esri
