We're very pleased to announce the latest release of Socrata mapping functionality.  WIth this release, you'll see dramatically improved performance on maps with many coordinates and an improved user experience.  Released the second week in January.  Details below... happy mapping!

Features: 

•All maps can now use value-based point color and size variation
•Features are uniformly supported across maps; Bing maps are no longer less powerful than Esri maps
•Outlined cluster areas on mouseover
•Overall smarter heuristics about clustering

 

Benefits:

•Consistent clusters (Zooming or panning will not change the structure of the clusters)
•Faster clustering upon zoom or pan
•Paves the road for further improvements to maps in the future
