We have recently put live the latest batch of improvements to Polimapper. Here is a rundown of the changes in Version 2.3.2.
New maps
We have put live a number of new map templates:
- Counties and unitaries in England and Wales only – certain data releases, most notably census data, only cover England and Wales. This template enables visualisation of that data without having areas of maps blanked out.
- UK parliamentary constituencies in England and Wales only – created for similar reasons as the above.
- UK and Republic of Ireland – for occasions when data for the Republic of Ireland is also available.
- London Boroughs – enabling London focused organisations to visualise data across the capital.
We have also updated the following map templates to ensure Orkney and Shetland are in their correct position relative to the mainland.
- Scottish parliament constituencies
- Scottish parliament regions
- Scottish local authorities
Hide blank data points
We have added functionality enabling blank data points to be hidden rather than have to need an N/A or similar to improve the look of dashboards, especially where there could be multiple blank datapoints.
