Creating Maps with Vector Graphics and Labels: Wolfram U

Discuss advantages of using vector graphics to make maps. Learn to use Wolfram's GeoGraphics function and options to customize the appearance of maps and the visible data in maps. Create world, country, city and street-level maps.

Summary
Vector maps look and perform better than raster maps. Wolfram Language has support for vector graphics and maps. In this video, you will learn about the advantages of using vector graphics to make maps as well as the options to customize the appearance of these maps. The primary focus of this lesson is the GeoGraphics function and its features. The lesson also demonstrates the use of tile and layer properties to manipulate the visible data in maps. Examples show how to create different styles of world, country, city and street-level maps.
