Tableau has a mapping functionality,[14][15] and is able to plot latitude and longitude coordinates and connect to spatial files[16] like Esri Shapefiles, KML, and GeoJSON to display custom geography.[17] The built-in geo-coding allows for administrative places (country, state/province, county/district), postal codes, US Congressional Districts, US CBSA/MSA, Area Codes, Airports, and European Union statistical areas (NUTS codes) to be mapped automatically. You can group geographies to create custom territories[18] or use custom geocoding to extend existing geographic roles in the product.[19]
