What does the dashboard map show?
Your main dashboard includes a world map that colors each country by how many sessions came from it — darker means more traffic. It respects your active date range and filters, so it always reflects the same slice of data as the rest of the dashboard. Click a country to filter every report to that country; click again to clear it. This is the same drill-down as clicking a country in a breakdown table.What are the four globe views?
The globe page is a fuller view of the same location data, with four modes you switch between:Timeline
Timeline
The default view. Sessions are replayed over your selected window as markers on the map, with a scrubber you can play or drag to watch traffic arrive through the day. Click a session marker to open its full session details.
Coordinates
Coordinates
Bubbles placed at visitor locations, sized by how many sessions came from each spot — a quick read of your busiest cities and regions.
Countries
Countries
A country heat map, the same choropleth as your dashboard but full-screen. Click a country to filter the dashboard.
Subdivisions
Subdivisions
A region-level heat map — states, provinces, and other subdivisions — for when country-level is too coarse. Click a region to filter the dashboard.
How does tinyanalytics know where visitors are?
Location comes from a privacy-preserving lookup of the visitor’s IP address to a country, region, and approximate city — the IP address itself is never stored. This is the same geo enrichment behind the Countries, Regions, and Cities breakdowns, so the map and those tables always agree. See How tinyanalytics works for what is and isn’t kept.The timeline view loads sessions in pages and caps very busy ranges; when a range is truncated, the scrubber shows a notice. For an exhaustive list, use the Sessions report with a location filter.
Frequently asked questions
Does tinyanalytics store my visitors' IP addresses?
Does tinyanalytics store my visitors' IP addresses?
No. Location comes from a privacy-preserving lookup of the visitor’s IP address to a country, region, and approximate city, and the IP address itself is never stored. The same geo enrichment powers the map, the globe, and the Countries, Regions, and Cities breakdowns. See how tinyanalytics works.
How do I filter my dashboard to one country or region?
How do I filter my dashboard to one country or region?
Click the country on your dashboard map, or click a country or region in the globe page’s Countries or Subdivisions view. Every report re-scopes to that location; click again to clear it. This is the same drill-down as clicking a country in a breakdown table.
What's the difference between the dashboard map and the globe page?
What's the difference between the dashboard map and the globe page?
The dashboard map is a country heat map shaded by sessions, sitting alongside your other metrics. The globe page is a fuller view of the same location data with four modes: Timeline replay, Coordinates bubbles, Countries, and Subdivisions. Both respect your active date range and filters.
