Hide address data on your map

A new feature is available that will allow you to hide address information for those who wish to not reveal exact addresses. Underneath Validate & Set Options -> Advanced Options you will find an option “Hide map addresses / Limit zoom in”

This will work just as expected. Addresses will be used to place markers on map, but the addresses will not be revealed in the interface. Additionally the map will not zoom in to the point where exact locations could be determined.

We do not randomize address coordinates when sending data to the client, so technically exact location data is still available in the underlying code. For this reason we do not recommend using this to distribute highly sensitive data. However for the average person it will be very difficult to extract coordinates.

Please add your feedback on your feature to our idea board:

New Feature: Change Group By on the Fly

You can now change the map rendering on the fly by switching the group by column. The feature is accessible by hovering over the legend label.

View Map of Top 100 Websites Worldwide in a full screen map

This will be quite useful for users who have a number of columns that could be used for map rendering. It really helps when doing geographical analysis work.
