Map charts visualize location-based data. They are useful for regional activity, addresses, assets, stores, users, events, and other geographic records.
Data requirements
Map charts need query results that identify locations. Depending on the chart setup, this may include latitude and longitude, coordinates, or location fields that can be mapped.
Point types
Map chart point styles may include:
- Dot
- Marker
- Cluster
- Heatmap
Use dots or markers for individual records, clusters for dense point sets, and heatmaps for concentration patterns.
Common use cases
- Customer locations
- Sales or activity by region
- Field operations
- Store or branch performance
- Event locations
Tips
- Keep map queries filtered enough to load quickly.
- Use clusters or heatmaps for large point sets.
- Include useful tooltip fields in the query result.
- Combine map charts with filters for region, status, date range, or customer type.
