Key Concept: Density Mapping with Heatmaps

The main idea here is to use MAPOG to create heatmaps that show data density. This helps you understand where things are more concentrated or spread out. With MAPOG’s easy-to-use Map Analysis Tool, you can make heatmaps that fit your specific needs and goals.

Step-by-Step Process:

Step 1: Uploading Your Data

First, go to the analysis tool and start by clicking “Add Upload.” Choose “Upload Excel/CSV File” to add your density data for analysis.
