• Support for GeoJSON shapes
• Support for icons (icons supported are from FontAwesome)
• Support for pop up visualizations of data from a specific point
• Multiple layers for the different queries
• A new map layer leveraging Inverse distance weighting (IDW) interpolation for scattered data points using Shepard's method.

Usage with PostGis

To use the plugin with PostGis, you need either to query longitude and latitude from a stored Point, e.g.:

• ST_X(ST_GeomFromEWKT(location_centroid)) AS \"longitude\"
• ST_Y(ST_GeomFromEWKT(location_centroid)) AS \"latitude\"

Or query the GeoJSON shape, e.g.:

• ST_AsGeoJSON(ST_GeomFromEWKT(location)) AS \"geojson\"

Usage with CrateDB

To use the plugin with CrateDB, you need either to query longitude and latitude from a stored Point, e.g.:

• longitude(location_centroid) AS \"longitude\"
• latitude(location_centroid) AS \"latitude\"

Or query the GeoJSON field, e.g.:

• location AS \"geojson\"

What is a Grafana Panel Plugin?

Panels are the building blocks of Grafana. They allow you to visualize data in different ways. While Grafana has several types of panels already built-in, you can also build your own panel, to add support for other visualizations.
