ClustrMaps: geographic information visualization
Additional Notes about totals and map updates (for full guide see Map Key):
The map shows individual visits to the web site shown at the top of the page, clustered
within a given distance.
The location of each visit is based on the IP address of the computer
used.
In order for your map to be 'updated' (whether daily, weekly,
or monthly) the number of visitors shown must also have grown by more
than 10% since the last update. This does not mean that your grand (running)
total needs to grow by this much, merely that the number shown on your
currently-displayed map needs to grow by 10%. Thus, if your current
map shows, at the bottom, "Total number of visits depicted above
= 1420" and you are scheduled for a daily update, then the next
update will be trigerred after at least 143 new visits are logged, i.e.
1 more than 10%. Logging (tallying) of visitors continues even when no updates
are shown: the overnight tally from the previous day (updated just once
daily at approximately 0400-0500 GMT) can be seen in your personal tables
shown when you login using the Admin page.
Total/subtotal discrepancies above are typically caused either by IP
addresses not currently being in the database or by the gap between
counter tallies (continous) and map updates (which may be daily, weekly,
or monthly).
