What’s new in Grafana 8.1: Geomap panel
Blog post from Grafana Labs
Grafana 8.1 introduces the Geomap panel, an enhanced version of the Worldmap panel, aimed at offering more dynamic and flexible geospatial data visualization. The Geomap panel allows users to customize world maps with multiple base layer options, including Open Street Maps and ArcGIS, alongside the existing CartoDB tile set. Users can adjust data markers with gradient scales and size variations to represent diverse data points, and six regular shapes are available for markers, with plans to introduce icon options in the future. A heat map layer is available to visualize data density, and the data layer offers mapping options like coordinates, geohash, and lookup to display data flexibly. Additionally, new sharing capabilities enable linking and synchronizing multiple map panels within the same dashboard, facilitating comprehensive data exploration. Overall, the Geomap panel provides a more versatile and interactive experience for visualizing location-based data.
