Differences in Marker Modes

Markers

Markers are the standard view for records shown on the map. When markers are in close proximity, they will be stacked on top of each other. The number of stacked markers will be displayed in the bottom-right corner of the marker pop-up. You can navigate between the markers using the arrows on the bottom-left of the pop-up.

 

Clusters

This marker mode clusters all of the records together based on proximity and zoom level. Clicking on the cluster will display an aggregated tooltip telling the user the number of records that fall within it. If a Number or Currency field is used as a tooltip value in the Marker Layer, these will be aggregated as well. You can draw a boundary and zoom to the markers. This view is recommended when dealing with large sets of data.

Blue: 2-10 Records

Yellow: 11-100 Records

Red: 101-1000 Records

Pink: 1001+ Records
 

Heatmap

Heatmaps show record density. Depending on the data layer behind the heatmap, a user can tell where hotspots and gaps are located. Marketing and sales teams can use this feature to identify target markets or areas of expansion.
 

Scatter

This marker mode displays all of the records as a dot on the map. It ignores the clustering rule so each record returned by the Marker Layer will be displayed as a dot on the map.
