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 ways to go, each with a real trade-off:
-
Cluster by zoom level. Group nearby shops into bubbles that split apart as you zoom in.
-
All points, colored by segmentation. Drop every shop as a small dot, colored by type.
-
All points, colored, with hover-to-isolate. Same full map, but hovering a point (or a segment) fades everything except the shops of that typology.
Option 3 gives you both the wow and the detail. A bit more front-end work, but it's the one that survives a stakeholder clicking around.
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, the whole footprint readable at a glance:
