When to use this template
This visualization excels at drawing immediate attention to dynamic events or activities occurring across various geographic locations. It helps analysts quickly identify hotspots and their relative significance when monitoring situations where a moderate number of distinct points on a map are actively changing or generating new data. The pulsing effect ensures that new or intensified events are instantly noticeable, making it ideal for real-time operational dashboards.
- Geographic point data with latitude/longitude or country/region identifiers.
- Moderate number of distinct locations (tens to low hundreds).
- Time-series data where events occur or values update frequently.
- Each location has an associated quantitative magnitude or intensity.
- Datasets where the recency or liveliness of events is critical.
- Situations requiring immediate visual attention to new occurrences.
