Heat maps, also known as density maps, are a type of overlay on a map used to represent the density of data using different colors. Heat maps are often used to show the data “hot spots” on a map. Heat maps are a great way to render datasets with large number of points. If you were to display tens of thousands of points on a map you will likely experience a degradation in performance and due to the large number, in addition the map may be covered with overlapping symbols, making it unusable. Rendering the data as a heat map results not only in better performance, it helps you make better sense of the data by making it easy to see the relative density of each data point.

The heat map format pane provides the flexibility for user to customize and design the heat map visualizations the way they preferred. The format pane allows users to:

-
- Configure the radius of each data point and users may choose to use pixels or meters as units.
41
-
- Customize the opacity and intensity of the heat map layer.
42
-
- Specify if the value in size field should be used as the weight of each data point.
43
-
- Pick different colors from color pickers.
44
-
- Set the minimum and maximum zoom level for heat map layer to be visible.
45

- Decide the heat map layer position amongst different layers, e.g., 3D bar chart layer and bubble layer.

When set to meters, the size of the data points will scale based on zoom level, ensuring the radius is spatially accurate.<br /><br /> Default: **pixels**|
