What dimension type can be used to plot on a static map visualization?

The correct choice for a dimension type that can be used to plot on a static map visualization is coordinates. This dimension type typically consists of latitude and longitude values that can be directly represented on a map.

Using coordinates allows for precise plotting of locations, making it easy to visualize data points on various geographical representations. For instance, if you wanted to display customer locations or sales regions, having specific latitude and longitude enables accurate placement on the map.

Zipcodes, while they can represent geographical locations, do not provide the specific positioning required for accurate mapping without additional processing or conversion to coordinates. Meanwhile, location_id is generally a categorical identifier and does not intrinsically convey geographical positioning without additional lookup data. Addresses, although potentially useful, require geocoding to interpret into usable map points, which can introduce complexity and may not always yield accurate results. Thus, coordinates stand out as the most direct and effective dimension type for static map visualizations.
