Visualize points and routes with GeoJSON in Amazon Quick Sight layer maps
Amazon Quick Sight layer maps now support Point and LineString geometry from the same GeoJSON workflow, so you can plot store locations and the routes between them. This post covers the dataset and GeoJSON structure layer maps require, when to choose points or lines, and techniques for viewport control, layering geometries, and dynamic GeoJSON updates.
Amazon QuickSight now supports GeoJSON layer maps to visualize points and routes, allowing businesses to spot patterns tied to location. Layer maps consist of a GeoJSON file and a QuickSight dataset, with a shared key joining the two. GeoJSON describes geographic features like points and lines using a FeatureCollection and Feature objects with geometry, coordinates, and properties.
In QuickSight, you select the Geometry type (Points, Lines, or Polygons) and match the Shape file key field to the Dataset key field for joining. Points mark specific locations, while LineStrings trace routes between locations, such as delivery paths or flights between airports.
