The heat map is one of the most useful and powerful data analysis tools in business intelligence. It provides a visualization feature that presents multiple pieces of data in a way that makes immediate sense by assigning a different size and color.
New geographic information systems (GIS) allow us to see our complex world in a new way. With the right data sets, heat maps can be produced that show how different factors vary from one area to another. In recent years, several organizations have developed dynamic mapping systems that allow users to choose areas, data layers, filters, and presentation features.
