Visualization
Data Notes
This visualization represents some of the metrics I am tracking on my nearly cross country road trip. As we go I will update the data in a google sheet. The visualization is created using Tableau and hosted in Tableau Public.
I will be including some data tidbits and pictures of the things my family and I are doing along the way. You can find them on Facebook or Twitter. I will be embedding my tweets below.
If you want to keep up with our progress be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
