Map point limits for postcodes - current?

 

What are is the limit for the number of points to be displayed on a map visual (standard, not ArcGIS) - for lat/long and UK postcodes?

 

I think it was 1,000, then 3,500 but I'm struggling to find a definitive and current answer to this question anywhere...

 

thanks in advance!

Susie

I've had confirmation (from @WillT ) that this is currently 3,500 but that the team are improving data limits.

Hi Susie,

 

According to my test, the limit of Map visual is 3500, which could be the boundary of a good performance. Maybe you could vote this idea.

Thanks Dale, this is helpful. 

 

Have you mapped lat/long in this example? I'm working with UK postcodes which I understand may have different limits?

 

thanks,

Susie

@SusieBentley,

 

Hi Susie,

 

Yes, I used lat/long. I'm afraid the limit is for all users. Maybe it would come up soon if you vote this idea.
