Building & styling your map

Once your points are on the map, the Style panel controls how they look. Mapize starts with a sensible default — it color-codes by a likely category, fits the view to your data, clusters dense areas, and adds a legend — and you tune from there.

Style controls

• Color by a column — a single color, one color per category value (with a palette picker and per-value overrides), or a numeric color scale.
• Size by a numeric column, so bigger values show as bigger markers.
• Marker shape — pin, solid pin, circle, square, diamond, triangle, star, or hexagon — in small, medium, or large.
• Basemap — light or dark.
• Cluster nearby points — groups dense pins into counts; turns on automatically past ~400 points, and you can toggle it.
• Heat map — render density instead of pins, optionally weighted by a numeric column.
• Legend — show or hide.

Filtering

Add one or more filters to show only the points you care about. Available conditions depend on the column type — for text: is / is not / is any of / contains / is empty / is not empty; for numbers: at least / at most / between / is empty. A live "Showing X of Y points" count updates as you filter.

On the map

• Popups — click a marker to see its title and up to a few fields. Approximate (low-confidence) locations are labeled as such.
• Clusters — click to zoom in and expand.
• Zoom, reset view, and locate controls sit on the map.
• Pan and zoom are remembered — where you leave the map is where it opens for viewers, unless you keep "fit to data" on.
