At Locale.ai, we have a thing for pretty and intuitive maps but the scale at which we operate makes this job really challenging! For every company to create their own maps, we need to get all their location information from all these disparate sources into one single place! These maps can help them profile areas and analyze their ground performance and properties across these different areas in real-time.

To understand how to craft this experience for our users, we conducted several user interviews-- ranging from product managers to ops teams and asked them to keep playing around with the UI.Musthaq, our UI/UX engineer wrote this piece from all the learnings around design we have gathered over time. This should be helpful for anyone who might be in the same boat as us.
