- [Instructor] In the previous chapter, we explored how to use Sankey charts to visualize process flows. The widths of these paths between the nodes let us visualize the size of the relationships. If we want to visualize a Sankey chart in a map, let's check out the flow map custom visual. The field options for the flow map look very similar to those we saw in the Sankey chart. We'll put our origin state in the origin and our destination state in the destination. This creates a web of connections between all the US states in a map. Because there are a lot of states and they're pretty close together on the map, it makes it more difficult to decipher the flows between them. Let's focus on only the states in the four corners of the contiguous US. We'll filter both the origin and destination states for Washington, California, Florida, and Maine. Like the Sankey chart, this creates a structure showing the flow between the…
