2D building/site map using SVG/GeoJSON - Layer Map and HighCharts visual

Question & Answer

Hi Team,

I’m exploring ways to render SVG or GeoJSON content in Quicksight. I tried the Layer Map visual to render 2D building layouts by uploading the GeoJSON file, while I’m able to generate the layout using this visual but see a few limitations -

  • Max size of 100MB (each geoJSON of a building is ~8 MB)
  • One file upload per Layermap visual
  • Join the shape file with only one dataset based on one key join field.
  • filtering capability of the shape file

While the Layermap is useful, is there a way to make it more scalable where my usecase has each geoJSON sizing ~8MB and rendering the building layouts based on the filters of the dashboard?

I was also exploring Pictorial chart in HighCharts visual to render the same building layouts through SVG content, again see some limitations on scalability for multiple huge SVG content files and interactivity through filters.

Is there a roadmap to improve LayerMap visual to address any of the above limitations?
Is there something that I’m missing and can explore any other ways to be able to better achieve my use case?

Thanks!

Hello @Akira_2212, welcome to the QuickSight community!

I have experienced issues with some of the same limitations you are noticing in regards to the Layermap visual. I know it is a newer feature, so I am also hoping for some changes to the file size, but no updates have been confirmed through the What’s New blog posts.

Since this feature is currently unavailable, I can mark this topic as a feature request. Please let me know if you have any remaining questions, otherwise I can archive this for our support team. Thank you!
