What is a Heat Map?

A heat map is a graphical representation of two-dimensional data (X, Y, and Value) on a two-dimensional surface using colors. Specifically, a heat map representsis a representation of the density of latitude and longitude points on a map. HeatmapAPI helps you create heat map images you can overlay on your maps in your software or website.

Why Heat Maps?

Heat maps help your website visitors or users quickly visualize density. Most maps show a sea of points or themed polygons, but being able to visualize the density of those points makes it much easier to understand, especially when using colors as shown on a heat map.

Create Your Heat Map

We provide an API that enables you to create your heat maps on your map, in your application. We offer a limited but free API you can use, or you can upgrade for unlimited data points or optionally run the API on your server.

Why HeatMapAPI?

Your heat map is rendered in real-time. It's a single image that can be overlaid onto just about any GIS system that can overlay an image. Because the images are rendered in real-time, you can change the data on the fly, making it very powerful. Unlike other heatmap approaches, HeatmapAPI renders with small to very large datasets. You can also upload your data for faster processing.
