John Nelson Maps

What happens when you have so much data that it's impossible to know how many features are stacked up on top of each other? Is there a way to quantify them? Yes! And also make a cool hexbin map.

This video is brought to you by Dr. Bin Li, an outstanding geography professor at Central Michigan University, who taught me much about GIS, data management, intellectual curiosity, and just being cool. Thanks Dr. Li!
