In this video, I put the new feature in Tableau 2021.4 to the test by visualising every Bus stop and every road in Central London using 2 data sets from the Ordnance Survey and TFL (Transport from London). We hit some snags with some performance issues so we also used Alteryx (in a separate video).

Tableau Release notes:
The capability of adding an unlimited number of layers to your map visualisation just got more powerful. With support for multiple data sources in map layers, you can now analyse more data in the context of one another. For example, you can build a map that shows your retail stores’ location, accessibility, population and revenue – all coming from different data sources.
