Usage example: Places Pins & Time Zone
Slide Content
The slide shows an example of how to use place pins and a time zone indication on a map. The specific example focuses on the "USA Central Time Zone," detailing that CST is UTC – 6, and CDT is UTC – 5. This illustrates the use of map annotations to indicate geographical locations, in this case, Texas, and points of interest that may correspond to varying time zones and locations within a particular region.
Graphical Look
- A teal ribbon banner placed at the top left with the text "Fully Editable" in white.
- A stylized map of the United States in blue tones with state borders.
- Two pins: one red with a bar chart icon on the upper right side of the map, and another circular blue with a red outline near central Texas.
- An oblong callout in yellow with a pointer, labeled "Texas," placed in the south-central area of the US.
- A clock icon on the upper right corner outside the map, associated with information about the Central Time Zone.
- State boundary lines are slightly visible within the blue shade of the map.
The slide has a clean and professional appearance, with a limited color palette focused around blues, teal, red, and yellow, which aids in highlighting key information. The graphical elements such as pins, icons, and callout are used effectively to annotate the map with relevant information.
Use Cases
- Presenting regional sales territories and the corresponding time zones for a company's operations.
- Demonstrating the locations of different branches or offices across the United States during a company overview.
- Showcasing demographic data or market research findings by region for a specific purpose, like targeting marketing strategies.
