Deck.gl Scatterplot Map
A GPU-accelerated scatterplot rendered on a real basemap — every dot is a circle whose radius encodes a numeric value (population, sales, footfall, anything quantitative) and whose colour encodes a category. Built with Deck.gl's ScatterplotLayer running on WebGL2, this template r

When to use this template
This visualization excels at revealing spatial patterns, concentrations, and distributions of quantitative values across distinct categories on a real-world map. An analyst would reach for it to identify geographic hot-spots, compare the magnitude of a metric across different locations and groups, or understand the spread of events or entities when dealing with thousands of individual data points.
- Geospatial point data with latitude and longitude coordinates
- Large datasets containing thousands to tens of thousands of individual points
- One primary quantitative measure per point (e.g., count, value, intensity)
- One categorical attribute for grouping or color-coding points
- Data where spatial clustering, density, or outlier locations are key insights
- Individual events or entities, rather than pre-aggregated regional statistics
