30 Days of Maps Day 21 - Conflict

On to day 21 of the #30DayMapChallenge and today's theme is Conflict - Map a conflict. Political, territorial, or social—there are conflicts all around us. Map boundaries, tension points, or the outcomes of conflicts.

Just a really quick one today as I've not much time. This map shows the location of the UK's wartime pillboxes used for defence in the 1st and 2nd world wars. The last update to Icon Map Pro enabled large numbers of images to be added to the map using WebGL rendering. This report shows over thirteen thousand images on the map at the same time. Clicking the button in the top right enables a preview of our forthcoming upgrade to clustering which enables the clustering of images, as well as circles shown in day 1 of the challenge. Notice the option to use a square for clustering, rather than the circle used in day 1's postbox example.
