I need to display more than 10,000 points on a map to show Visa the shops we've just equipped. What's the best way to render them?

Three options, each with a real trade-off:

  1. Cluster by zoom level. Group nearby shops into bubbles that split apart as you zoom in.

  2. All points, colored by segment. Show every shop as a small dot, colored by type.

  3. All points, colored, with hover to isolate. Same full map, but when you hover over a point (or a segment), everything fades except the shops of that type.

Option 3 gives you both the impressive overview and the detail. It needs a bit more front-end work, but it's the one that still works well when a stakeholder starts clicking everywhere.

I like option 3. Let's do the full colored map with hover to isolate.

Here's the result — every equipped shop on one screen, color-coded, with the full coverage readable at a glance:
