General
Heat maps are typically used to indicate density of data points geographically using color coding. They can be used to visualise large amounts of point data in 2D.
Examples include:
- Historical positions
- Population densities
- Frequency of events

Heat maps in GDK
Heat maps are implemented as a separate layer in Maria GDK.
