How to optimize your 3D map to load faster

When creating a 3D map with lots of data points, you may find that it doesn't perform very well and loads slowly when embedded. Here are some suggestions on how you can improve the performance of your 3D map.

1

Don't exceed the maximum limit of 200,000 points. Exceeding the maximum number of points that a template can handle can significantly impact the performance of your visualization.

TIP: If your data does exceed the maximum number of points recommended, you may want to find a way to aggregate the data. Alternatively, you may want to have a separate page for those visualizations that people can find.

2

Ensure that all of your column bindings are correct. If you accidentally bind a column into a binding that doesn't match what the column binding is expecting, this can cause additional performance issues and can cause the visualization to break. For example, binding your Name/ID column to the Longitude column binding.

3

If you're using the same column for both your start date and your end date, you should disable the End time data binding. This will halve the number of dates the template needs to download and parse.
