Carto allows the user to overlay spreadsheet information on top of maps so that viewers can easily understand relationships, patterns and trends across a map.
Additionally, Carto has an a feature accessible to users that allows them to map Twitter hashtags so that viewers can see and deploy resources to address issues of concern.
