To this end, we have now integrated a new interface directly into the map display for all project apps on the SPOTTERON Platform. The new feature can be activated at any time by tapping on the interface icon. This opens an interactive map overlay that displays the contributions in the project in the form of different data visualizations. The visualizations adapt seamlessly to each zoom level or to moving the map.
At the start of the new feature, there are currently already two types of data visualizations to choose from in all apps: a "Heatmap", which shows the density of spots in colour gradations on the map, and a "Distribution Dot Map", where the distribution of spots is resolved in a grid with the size of a circle representing the number of posts. But this is just the beginning - more extensive and complex overlays will be added here in the future.
