Create layered UK map

Hi all -

 

I've been tasked with creating a layered map of our sales force and where they are spending their time.

 

So, in the first instance I need to plot points on a map of the UK where our sales personnel are based. I have the latitude and longitude of their base locations. I can do this no problems.

 

However, secondly, I then need to overlay that map with a heat map showing in which post code areas that sales person has spent their time.

 

An example of this data would be something like this:

DateSalespersonBase LatitudeBase LongitudeVisit Post Code Area

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you @Anonymous for the reply.

 

It's not quite what I am after. I want one layer to simply plot the location of the sales person. The second layer should outline UK poast code areas (e.g. EX, TQ, PL etc...) and this layer should be the heatmap.

 

Thanks

Hi @RDF25087 

You can use the custom visual:heat map, and put the related field to the visual
