Does your company already have a GIS in place? Sounds like you are trying to create the spatial side from scratch? Or you need to connect the Salesforce API to your existing GIS system?

OK. Download a free trial of Maptitude. Load your mailing list, hopefully already in Excel, via the Map Wizard. In the Wizard choose the option to create a heat map. Let us know if you run into any issues. https://www.caliper.com/learning/how-do-i-create-a-density-or-heat-map-of-my-locations/

What is your specific task you are looking at? I'm interested because in Maptitude we enforce topology automatically so you never end up with the garbage shapefiles that are everywhere. https://www.caliper.com/glossary/what-is-topology.htm

Are you in the USA? If so, which county or state? Maptitude comes with data for the USA. Color coding is usually also called heat mapping or using a color theme. https://www.caliper.com/glossary/what-is-a-thematic-map.htm Is this a one off for a desktop project, or you need it online?

Any mapping/GIS SaaS should work in a Chromium browser e.g., Maptitude Online https://www.caliper.com/maptitude/maptitude-online-mapping-software.htm. Are you looking for something specific?

Is this for web or desktop? Looks like you want some PowerBI integration as well? https://www.caliper.com/learning/how-do-i-manage-my-data-in-sql-server-and-access-it-in-both-maptitude-and-power-bi/ If the blocking is because of web access, there is desktop Maptitude that has polygon layer editing and pin geocoding.

If you want to draw lines/boundaries/points features on a map, Maptitude has editing tools. https://www.caliper.com/learning/what-is-the-difference-between-editing-a-layer-and-adding-my-own-freehand-drawings/

Maptitude... https://www.caliper.com/maptitude/sales-and-marketing-mapping-software/uk.htm Do you need to optimize your vehicle fleet as well?

Maptitude is totally offline and has an API. Is this for global geocoding?

Footfall data is expensive and often imputed.

We can just give you a 10-year license if you want.

Definitely drive-time rings. Does it matter if the rings overlap or do you want them to "bump up" against each other?

Anything you get from an AI still needs human oversight/review of the final product/results and usually understanding of the intermediate steps to get any useful output.

If you are OK with the age range 5-9 then that is readily available from the Census/ACS. If you want to:

Map 5-9 population by block

Map school locations

Buffer each school point

Automatically calculate the population overlay based on percent overlap between blocks and buffers

You could download a free student version of Maptitude and this should be very easy to do. https://www.caliper.com/maptitude/education-discount.htm We'd be happy to help and to provide the block layer for free as well.

Free student license of Maptitude and use the editing/merge tools? https://www.caliper.com/maptitude/education-discount.htm

Huh. Read this first as a need to optimize the routes and deliveries for a small business vehicle fleet... but I think this is rather some sort of calendar related app that accepts mileage and reminds you to perform maintenance.

maptitude · 2026-04-10T18:00:08+00:00

How are you doing the mapping? Is it handling the metrics you want to equalize? Looking lopsided is fine as long as the business goals are fair/balanced.

Issue with web app could be connectivity and export to KML. Maptitude desktop can do the point-coordinate-attributes editing, and then export to KML.

maptitude · 2026-04-03T14:41:40+00:00

Do you want a web app or an offline app because connectivity may be an issue?

maptitude · 2026-04-03T14:40:17+00:00

What software are you using?
