#Show a journey or highlight countries
Route map accepts two to six stops. Edit each stop’s label and coordinates in the order the journey should appear. Dashed uses 1 for a dashed route or 0 for a solid route.
Region highlight accepts one to three country names in English, with optional display labels. Enter matching labels in the same order. The map presents the selected countries in sequence.
#Present numbers accurately
Check units and number formatting against your source. A chart should state what is being measured, and a comparison should use compatible values. Preview long labels after editing.
