Heatmap

A Heatmap turns scattered points into a smooth gradient of color, making density and hotspots obvious at a glance. It's the go-to visualization when the story is "where is there more or less of something."

Control radius, intensity, and the color ramp, and weight points by a value column so busier locations burn hotter. Connect a Google Sheet to keep the heatmap live.

What you can do

How to create a heatmap

  1. 1

    Create a Heatmap

    Set radius, intensity, and a custom color ramp.

  4. 4

    Publish

    Embed the heatmap or publish it to your domain.

Heatmap FAQ

How do I make a heatmap online?

Create a Heatmap site in Mapji, add your point data, tune the radius and color gradient, and publish — no code needed.

Can I weight points by value?

Yes. Map a weight column so higher-value points contribute more intensity to the heatmap.
