Systems and methods are disclosed for smart mapping, including dynamically recalculating a heatmap of displayed map entries based on changes to a map displayed on a viewport. In certain embodiments, a method may comprise providing a display of a map on a user interface, determining selected geographic tiles depicted on the display, and loading selected data corresponding to map entries from the selected geographic tiles only. The method may further comprise generating a heatmap on the display based on comparing the selected data, determining changes at the user interface resulting in a different set of geographic tiles depicted on the display, and dynamically generating a new heatmap based on the changes.

Smart mapping

A device may display a presentation of elements (e.g., icons) on a display component. However, display components have a pixel density that affects aesthetic and practical aspects of the presentation (e.g., rendering the presentation at a variable and inconsistent size); yet, many presentations are not generated in view of the pixel density of the display component of the device. Presented herein are techniques for generating and displaying a presentation of elements in view of the pixel density of the display component, using a scale factor set of scale factors that specify a pixel density range and a scale factor value (e.g., 120%) to be applied to the elements of the presentation. The scale factor set may be kept small to reduce the administrative burden on the designer of the element, while also achieving approximately consistent sizing of the presentation on display components having variable pixel densities.
