Heat Map
Density maps, also called heatmaps, can be used when you want to show a trend for visual clusters of data. Signifies areas of low and high density.
You can use Heatmap to:
Visualize the density of an object (i.e. how many stores, events...) in certain areas
Visualize the magnitude of value of an object (i.e. how high is the temperature, revenue, population...) in certain areas
For example, if you want to find out which areas of Manhattan have the most taxi pickups, you can create a density map to see which areas are most popular.
