You know the type – the GIS genius; the Map Geek. A wizard at converting seemingly random and disparate data sets into beautiful, graphic, and informative geospatial visualizations of your boss’ business data. The boss loves it and that map geek just sits there, lapping up the praise. “Why can’t I do that?” you ask yourself, and resolve to spend the next three weekends learning about mash-ups, GIS file formats, and shapefiles.
But life intervenes and your significant other expects real assistance like vacuuming, deck building, or snow shoveling around the house and you arrive at work on Monday no closer to spinning business data into visual gold; more map weak than geek.
I’ve put up with these intimidating map geeks for over a decade. I know the smug look on their faces as they pull up “a quick PowerPoint presentation” that nails it. Damn it! This map intimidation ends now.
