Frequently asked questions
It depends on the type of map you’re creating. For projection maps, you’ll need one row per country or region, along with a unique ID that matches the official region codes listed in the template’s Regions tab.
For 3D maps and other maps, you’ll typically just need latitude and longitude coordinates — and if you want to show movement or change over time, you can include time-based columns too.
The best way to get started is to open a relevant starting point and explore the Data tab to see how it's structured. And if you get stuck, our help center has detailed guides to walk you through it.
Flourish offers a wide range of map templates — including region and point maps, marker maps, locator maps, animated maps, 3D maps, globes, arrow, spike and line maps. You can use these to visualize data by country, region, point, shape, or movement across time and space. See all our starting points here.
