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 β you'll be introduced to data visualisation tools I have personally explored and reviewed.
- Geo For Good β you'll discover inspiring organisations and projects enabled by location data.
- Frenchy's Tip β 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!).

Frenchy's Tip*
*This section is named after my dog Frenchy. He's a retired racing greyhound from Australia.
Where can I find GIS data? A frequent difficulty
For anyone looking to access data that is georeferenced, i.e., that you can map, there is an updated list here.
