Hello

Has anyone managed to use the Map component, or something else, to create a heat map style view?

So, rather than simply present every entry as a single data point (which for lots of entries is crowded), show a heat map from blue to red depending on volume of entires in a given location?

Thanks

The native map component won’t allow you to do this. It’s complex, but I think your best bet is using Mapbox with custom heatmap integration.
