Novel tools and techniques for generating map displays to graphically illustrate financial performance. In one aspect, a map display might employ a coloration scheme that distinguishes among various ranked regions to illustrate, for example, revenue performance (which can be measured by any of a number of metrics), to allow a user to quickly understand the relative performance of a product line across a number of regions. In another aspect, a map display might correlate a first set of revenue information (or other financial information) with other data sets, such as sales force data, competitive sales data, and/or the like, to allow a user to quickly identify correlative patterns in the two data sets. Such map displays might feature two maps side-by-side, or might superimpose a map of one data set over a map of another data set, to assist in the user's visual analysis. |
