Major map changes and main process stages highlighted.

Instead of looking for data trends, highlight major spatial changes on maps, and count the total stages in a process.
Map overview = major spatial changes. Process overview = stages, start/end, output, cycle.
Unlike bar charts or line graphs, maps and processes have no numbers, percentages, or data trends.
If you try to write an overview looking for "the highest" or "an upward trend," you will get stuck. Instead, you need to change your lens. For these visuals, you must summarize spatial changes or sequence stages.
Match map/process descriptions with suitable overview statements.
