We are nearing the release of our 2016 Drone Poll Results!!!
By way of prep, I am curious as to what you all think about our potential mapping output formats. The underlying data represented in these draft graphs isn’t important at this point. Rather, I am curious as to which you all think is the best representation of geospatial data for the web:
Option 1: Cluster
Option 2: Heatmap
Option 3: Bubble
Let us know what you think (Option 1, 2, or 3).
Really depends on what type of data are displayed…
Agreed.
Depends on the audience and the message. Since you asked about the general public, I think the heatmap is most intuitive. From a technical perspective, I prefer the cluster because I think it is a more precise representation of the data. The bubble map sucks! Hard to read, hard to interpret, and generally misrepresent the data (in my opinion)
Thanks man!
Heat map is definitely the most effective for all audiences.
It really depends on the type of data being displayed. The cluster has the advantage of numeric quantities being included, but the heat map may be more meaningful where the numeric values are much larger.
Heat maps are awesome
I believe the ‘heat map’ is the quickest and easiest method to convey the overview (big picture) results. The ‘heat map’ helps focus the attention.
heat map was the easiest to read!
