Features
- Geographic Heat Map: Visualizes data densities on maps using color gradients to show intensity variations
- Radius/Bubble Map: Creates coverage maps with circles centered on locations to analyze service areas
- Territory Map: Shades geographic areas based on measurements like population density or income levels
- Route Optimization: Calculates most efficient driving routes for up to 50 locations to save time and fuel
- Network Map: Visualizes supply chain flows, airline operations, and logistics coverage with connection lines
- Cluster Map: Groups nearby locations together when maps become crowded with too many data points
- Center of Gravity: Identifies optimal points where weighted average distance to specified locations is minimized
- Batch Driving Distances: Calculates driving distances and times between multiple location pairs simultaneously
