1. A method of authoring data visualizations in association with a computer-generated map, comprising:

  • receiving a selection of an electronic data file that includes at least one data item at a first application;

    importing the data items into a visualization surface at the first application, the visualization surface comprising a data visualization template for generating data visualization for the data items;

    generating a representation of the at least one data item on the visualization surface including a listing of labels to identify the data items;

    determining locations associated with each of the data items;

    in response to determining the location for each of the data items, generating, at a separate application, an electronic map not included in the electronic data file, and presenting the generated electronic map on the visualization surface to show a geographical area representation that illustrates the locations associated with the data items;

    locating a position on the electronic map corresponding to a location of the data items;

    displaying the electronic map on the visualization surface, including displaying the representation of the electronic data file on the visualization surface, and a graphical indication for each of the data items at a position on the electronic map corresponding to the location of each of the data items; and

    in response to receiving a change to one or more of the data items associated with the data visualization, dynamically reflecting the change made to one or more of the data items in any representation of any changed one or more of the data items on the electronic map, wherein the change to one or more of the data items is selected from at least one additional data item or at least one removed data item.
