Build Maps & Dashboards with BigQuery: A Step-by-Step Guide
Blog post from Felt
BigQuery, Google's scalable data warehouse, has become a leading tool for analytics, particularly with its support for geospatial data through the GEOGRAPHY type, enabling efficient SQL-based analysis of large datasets. The platform now integrates with Felt, a company focused on advancing geospatial technology, to enhance mapping and spatial analysis capabilities. This integration allows users to connect BigQuery data directly to Felt for instant visualization and location data analysis, creating interactive maps and dashboards. Felt's Components feature further enhances this experience by allowing users to create dynamic, real-time dashboards with various visualization tools, such as Statistic, Bar Chart, Histogram, Filter, and Time Series components, specifically designed to handle spatial data. This seamless interaction between BigQuery and Felt's tools provides users with powerful insights and decision-making capabilities, setting Felt apart from traditional business intelligence tools like Tableau.
