Create a heat map using map chart software
A heat map is a geographical presentation of data in numerical values using colors.
Such kind of map is heavily utilized to visualize the location-based data by highlighting trends and distributions across a geographic area.
For example, a heat map can track the Swine Flu outbreaks throughout the world, to let people know how the disease is spreading so as to avoid visiting those places.

Steps:

This function is only available in iMapBuilder Developer, Standard, Professional and Studio Version.
- Click [Heat Map Settings] tab and check [Enable Heat Map Function]. Choose the colors for
start of gradient, end of gradient and highlight.

- Click [Fill Heat Map Data] button and then a pop up window will be displayed.
- Add numerical data in Heat Value column, and don't modify the ID and Region Name columns.
You can import your data from an excel unicode text file (.txt) by pressing [Import from Excel] or click [Paste all from clipboard] button to paste the data from clipboard. You can also export the data to Excel by pressing [Export to Excel] for calculations in Excel Spreadsheet.
Click [Verify Data] to verify if the numbers are valid integer values.

Note:
When using Paste or Import function, the column titles and the
number of rows/columns should always be the same. A heat value
can be the population, price for real estate, or any other data.
For example, you can input 127288416 to indicate Japan population
and 67386383 for thailand population.
- Click [Apply] button, then the heat map will show up. You can see different levels of color gradient in different regions. As we use dark red to represent maximum value and grey to represent 0 value, the region with the largest value (i.e., South America) is displayed in dark red and Africa with 0 value shows grey color, while those in between are shown with colors that lie in between the two extreme colors.
- Publish and upload the map to the server.
