What heatmap does
- Reveal density and hotspots from thousands of points
- Weight the heat by any numeric field, not just count
- Adjustable radius and intensity
- Stays readable across zoom levels
- Smooth, GPU-rendered heat layer
- A fast way to read a crowded map
Heatmap in GeoMaps
When a map has too many pins to read, a heatmap shows you the pattern instead of the points. Dense areas glow hot and sparse areas stay cool, so concentrations jump out immediately — no counting required.
You can weight the heatmap by any numeric field, so it reflects value, not just count — high-revenue customers burn brighter than low ones, for example. Radius and intensity are adjustable, and the heatmap stays meaningful as you zoom in and out.
It's part of GeoMaps' visualization tools, so it works hand in hand with the rest of your map.
Where heatmap helps
Demand hotspots
Heatmap orders or leads to see where demand concentrates and aim marketing or hiring at the hottest areas.
Revenue weighting
Weight the heat by deal value to find where your money is, not just where your logos are.
Activity density
Show where jobs, tickets or visits cluster to plan staffing and coverage.
Heatmap FAQ
- Can the heatmap reflect value, not just count?
- Yes. You can weight the heatmap by any numeric field, so areas with higher-value records show up hotter than areas with simply more records.
- Can I adjust how the heatmap looks?
- You can tune the radius and intensity to make the heat tighter or broader until the pattern reads clearly.
- Does it still work when I zoom in?
- Yes. The heatmap is zoom-aware, so it stays meaningful whether you're looking at a country or a single neighborhood.
- Is a heatmap better than markers?
- For dense data, a heatmap shows the overall pattern that individual markers can obscure. You can switch between views depending on whether you want the big picture or the detail.
