Every organization has location-based data. The difficulty is in effectively transforming that data into useful information or intelligence. SAS/GRAPH has powerful mapping capabilities that can be used for visualizing the location data as geographic and non-geographic maps. This paper presents techniques and examples for harnessing that power and creating these maps. The key to building effective maps is to understand the building blocks available. With this understanding, one can choose the most appropriate components to construct the map. This paper gives an overview of SAS/GRAPH mapping components and highlights specific techniques used to build a few attention-grabbing maps.
