Use cases
Perfect Use Cases
Regional Performance Reporting
Compare KPIs across cities or regions at a glance. Color-coded categories make it easy to spot which regions are over- or under-performing.

Customize
How to Customize
Replace the city data
Swap out the default US cities with your own locations. Update the X and Y values to represent your coordinates, and set the size value to your chosen metric such as sales, population, or traffic.
Define your categories and colors
Edit or add categories to match your regions or segments. Assign distinct colors to each category so viewers can instantly distinguish groups on the map.
Adjust display settings
Toggle labels, legend, grid, and zoom controls on or off. Fine-tune bubble opacity and stroke width to match your presentation or brand style.
Key Benefits
- Instantly communicates geographic distribution and relative scale in a single view
- Category coloring makes regional comparisons effortless without extra annotations
- Fully editable data, colors, and layout to match any dataset or brand
- Zoom and pan support lets audiences explore dense city clusters interactively
Pro Tips
- Use consistent coordinate units across all bubbles — if using longitude/latitude, ensure X maps to longitude and Y maps to latitude for accurate spatial positioning.
- Keep bubble size differences meaningful: if the largest city is 3x the population of the smallest, set sizes proportionally so the visual gap feels accurate.
- Limit categories to 4 or fewer for maximum clarity — too many colors dilute the geographic story you are trying to tell.
