Showing Maps in a PowerPoint Presentation

When showing more than one maps in a PowerPoint presentation slide, make sure to position them in the way that they actually appear. You can sort them from left to right for west to east.

For example, you can show market share or sales of your company’a products on a graph with maps on it. Make sure they are sorted in the correct arrangement from left to right. Choose a suitable graph to show these statistics. We normally use a pie chart to show parts of a whole, so you can use a pie chart as well. One approach is to show a pie chart on each region’s map. This way people can see the distribution easily.
