Generating & Using Heatmaps - A Refresher

GeoClerk’s heatmap functionality adds an immediate spatial dimension to your search results, transforming document or image lists into clear geographic insight.

Every result returned from a query is plotted on a simple, interactive map, allowing you to instantly see clusters, trends and gaps across a region.

Users can zoom into an area of interest and re-run searches on that spatially-limited subset to refine their analysis further.

Individual points can be interrogated to view the underlying documents and metadata, while the broader visual distribution helps provide context – revealing why certain commodities, drill results or geological observations have been reported in specific locations.

It’s a fast, intuitive way to move from data to spatial understanding.
