GeoFlow for Excel 2013

GeoFlow is basically Excel charting plus Bing Maps

GeoFlow is a three dimensional (3-D) data visualization tool for Microsoft Excel 2013 that provides a powerful method for people to look at information in new ways. It enables the data discoveries that might not be seen in traditional two dimensional (2-D) tables and charts. With GeoFlow you can plot geographic and temporal data visually, analyze that data on a 3-D globe and over time, and create visual tours to share with others.

With GeoFlow you can:

1.    Map Data: plot up to a million rows of data in 3-D, visually on Bing maps.

2.    Discover Insights: gain new understandings by seeing your data in geographic space and seeing time-stamped data change over time.

3.    Share Stories: capture screenshots and build cinematic, guided video tours that can be shared broadly, engaging audiences like never before.
