Improved performance in geomap visualizations

Generally AvailableDashboards and visualizations
Release date: 2025-03-07

We’ve moved over to WebGL for geomap marker layers. You can expect a significant increase in performance and stability, which is especially noticeable for larger datasets.

The following examples show a comparison of before and after switching to WebGL.

Before

1,000 styled markers with text labels

After

after with 1,000 markers
1,000 styled markers with text labels
after with 10,000 markers
10,000 styled markers with text labels
after with 100,000 markers
100,000 styled markers with text labels 🚀

Note: You might notice a slight change in styling due to the change in rendering technology. As always, we look forward to your feedback!
