Cross-border analysis can be used in any ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App Advanced or Pro workflow with the Europe data source. In this blog article, we explored a color-coded map and infographics in Business Analyst Web App Advanced and color-coded layers with 3D hexagons in Business Analyst Pro. Both examples analyze populations across countries in Europe and enrich maps with data for demographic comparisons.<\/p>\n

How will you use the Europe data source? We welcome your feedback!
