The result of an executed geospatial query displayed in CARTO Builder Using the CARTO Builder map making tool, select one of the available Google vector basemap styles and customize the layer style. In the Data Explorer, you can preview the table and click the “Create map” button in the top-right corner to start designing your visualization. To create a visualization of power transmission lines in Texas, you can start with the Texas state boundary to provide some context. For more information, check out the CARTO documentation.ĬARTO Builder’s Data Explorer allows you to preview different geospatial datasets Then, you can go to the Data Explorer and browse the available datasets to find the table you want to use as the datasource in your map. Once you have signed in, you can set up a connection to your BigQuery instance using a service account. To create a simple map using the CARTO platform, you can sign up for a trial account. The CARTO Spatial Extension for BigQuery provides an easy way to create connections to the data warehouse, design a map with data coming from BigQuery tables, and then add these visualizations to a web app using deck.gl.Īn example of retrieving a Map ID from CARTO Builderĭifferent custom styles can be applied to the map directly in CARTO Builder When you are dealing with spatial data, creating maps to explore and visualize these datasets is an important and common need. Google Cloud provides a strong serverless data warehousing solution, BigQuery, with support for geospatial queries. Today, I want to share more details about the source of the data for these visualizations and how the CARTO platform enables this workflow. This app showcases the different types of advanced data visualizations that can be created with Google Maps Platform and deck.gl.
Our team built an example app that visualizes a variety of data sources that show the potential for electrification of truck fleets in Texas. The deck.gl release includes a deep integration with the new WebGL-powered features in the Maps JavaScript API that allows deck.gl to render 2D and 3D visualizations directly on the Google basemap. Today he shares more details about the source of the data for advanced data visualizations created with Google Maps Platform and deck.gl and how the CARTO platform enables this workflow.ĭuring Google Cloud Next in October, the Google team announced the newest release of the deck.gl visualization library, thanks to a collaboration with our geospatial company CARTO and the vis.gl Technical Steering Committee (TSC). Editor’s note: Today’s blog post is from Alberto Asuero, CTO of CARTO, the location intelligence platform.
