With CartoVista, you can organize the content of your map in different Slides. Each will help you focus on a specific topic or question by showing part of your data that relates to this topic or question. You can also add text and multimedia to support your presentation and reorganize panels.

Slides are easy to create and navigate from the top bar menu, much like in a PowerPoint presentation.
