Geo charts

Celiq has three map-based chart types. They activate automatically when your data contains geographic fields.

Requirements

Your node must have a field with a geo_type annotation, or a column whose name matches a known geo pattern (lat, longitude, country, country_code, city, state, zip).

See Forge → Geo types → for the full annotation guide.

Geo Bubble (🌍)

Plots circles on a map. Circle size encodes the metric. Best for point-level data (stores, events, transactions by city).

Auto-selected when: latitude + longitude columns + metric, or any named-place geo field + metric.

Settings

SettingOptionsDefault

Geo Heatmap (🌡)

Density heatmap on a map — shows concentration of values without explicit sizing.

Settings

SettingOptionsDefault
Map styleLight / Dark / StreetsLight

Geo Area / Choropleth (🗺)

Fills country or region polygons with colour based on a metric value. Best for country-level or state-level data.

Auto-selected when: country_name or country_code column + metric.

Settings

Name resolution

Celiq resolves named places (country names, city names, US states) to lat/lng coordinates automatically using built-in lookup tables:

  • Countries: 194 entries (ISO 2, ISO 3, full name)
  • US states: 51 entries (50 states + DC, abbreviation + full name)
  • Cities: 164 major world cities

If a place name can't be resolved, that row is excluded from the map and a warning is shown.
