The Monthly with All That Geo – January 2021
Happy New Year, and welcome to the very first issue of The Monthly with All That Geo!
Each month, I will bring you a three-part newsletter focused on the learning of mapping and data visualisation skills:
- In The Spotlight – you'll be introduced to data visualisation tools I have personally explored and reviewed.
- Geo For Good – you'll discover inspiring organisations and projects enabled by location data.
- Frenchy's Tip – you'll get helpful tips to make your mapping and data visualisation journey easier.
In The Spotlight
Chart Studio: one tool, 35 data visualisations!
Chart Studio is a free and open-source tool to create a wide range of interactive charts (at the time of writing, 35!).

For anyone looking to access data that is georeferenced, i.e., that you can map, there is an updated list here.
