Introducing Map Visualization Support in Logship

We're excited to announce the integration of map visualization capabilities in Logship's dashboard and analytics interface. This new feature enables geographic data visualization through an intuitive map rendering system.

Geographic visualization of Amtrak data

The new map rendering functionality can be implemented using a straightforward Kusto query syntax:

table_name
| render map2d with (title = 'Map Title')

To demonstrate this feature's capabilities, here's a practical example using real-time Amtrak train location data:

GTFS.VehiclePositions
| where timestamp > ago(1h)
| project timestamp, __COLLECTION_TAG, __INFLOW_HOST, __INFLOW_ID, __INFLOW_SOURCE_ADDRESS, __INFLOW_TIMESTAMP, congestionLevel, currentStatus, currentStopSequence, feedName, occupancyStatus, positionBearing, positionLatitude, positionLongitude, positionSpeed, routeId, stopId, tripId, vehicleId, vehicleLabel, vehicleLicensePlate
| where feedName == 'Amtrak'
| summarize count = count() by latitude = bin(positionLatitude, 0.001), longitude = bin(positionLongitude, 0.001), label = feedName
| render map2d with (title = "GTFS Vehicle locations")

Here's a brief demonstration of the feature in action:

We welcome your feedback and suggestions as we continue to enhance our visualization capabilities.
