In this example, we're going to use the AggData Premium dataset to plot all of the locations of In-N-Out Burger in the Los Angeles Nielsen Radio Metro Area.

When we're done, we'll have a map and a table that looks similar to this. Notice that you can click on any location on the map and see its detailed information in the table; this is a feature called coordinated highlighting. You can also do the reverse: click on a location in the table and see the corresponding map point highlighted.
