DocsEdit Geo Map
The geo map widget places objects on a Google map using lon/lat coordinates or address information. If multiple objects are located in the same area on the map, a cluster is built which can be clicked to drill down to the single objects. Clusters can contain from two up to several thousands of objects.

Heat Map
This alternate way to display locations on a map uses an external datasouce to provide a numerical weigth value.
In the filter definition of the widget, configure either a database column containing coordinates in the Lat/Lon column field or use the Address column field with a database column containing for instance ZIP code and city. For coloration, configure the Weight column. The location with the highest weight (sum of weight column values) is colored in red, the lower values in orange to yellow.
If no weight column is configured, the coloration is calculated from the row count of each location
