Types of map layers

Each Map component is configured with one or more map layers. Each map layer uses a specific layer type.

The available map layer types are:

Layer Type Description
Numbered point layer A numbered point layer displays a numbered point for each location on the map.

Sample from a numbered point map layer

The layer includes a separate list containing the details for each point.

The Map component can display multiple numbered point layers at the same time, with color used to differentiate the layers.
Point layer A point layer displays a point for each location on the map.

Sample from a point layer

The Map component can display multiple point layers at the same time, with color used to differentiate the layers.
Heat map layer A heat map layer can display:
  • A point for each location on the map.
  • A shaded cloud with color gradients to show either the relative density of the points on the map, or the change in an associated metric value between locations. The cloud colors are also reflected on the map points.

Sample from a heat map layer

You can choose whether to display just the points, just the cloud, or both.

The Map component can only display one heat layer at a time.
