Summary

Felt has developed an advanced cartographic toolkit that enhances map creation by providing users with full cartographic power while maintaining ease of use. Initially, Felt offered basic styling options that were simple to implement but limited in cartographic capability. Now, users can benefit from features such as precision color selection, custom label styling and placement, and zoom-based styling and layer visibility, which enable detailed adjustments to every element of the map. These tools allow users to create aesthetically pleasing and customized maps efficiently, with options like heat maps providing quick insights. The inclusion of cartographic defaults, such as automatic complementary color selection, speeds up the decision-making process and ensures visually coherent results without the need for extensive coding knowledge.
