Hey guys,
I've been using the free ArcGIS visualization tool to create some heat maps. Right now it's just a heat map of store visits by postal code. However, i'd really like to get the store locations on this map as well, like a series of dots. So the map will have the heat map of store visits, with an overlay of store locations on top.
As far as i can tell there is no way to do this with the free ArcGIS visualization, and i need to pay for an ArcGIS Online account and sign in to get this functionality. Just wanted to make sure that this is possible, given i get that ArcGIS online account, and to confirm that this can't be done any other way.
Thank you 🙂
