Get Started #5: Saving and Sharing Honeycomb Maps ​

This is the final tutorial in the Getting Started series. In this tutorial we walk through how to save and share maps created using Honeycomb Data Explorer in Snowflake.

Overview ​

In previous tutorials, we covered:

• Installing the Honeycomb Data Explorer app in Snowflake.
• Working with demo maps.
• Pulling data from a Snowflake table into Honeycomb.

We ended the last video with a map displaying rental properties (Airbnbs) in London, including a point layer with property locations, an H3 layer showing property density, and a bar chart comparing entire homes to private rooms.

Steps to Save and Share a Map ​

1. Open the Sidebar
2. Click on the Save/Load Map tab.
3. In the top 'Save Map' section, enter a name for the map (e.g., "London Rentals").
4. Select Save as new.
5. Click Save map.
6. Copy Link: After saving, copy the provided link to share the map with others.

2. Loading a Saved Map ​

• Method 1 - Using the Link: Open the copied link to view the saved map.
• Method 2 - From the Save/Load Map Tab: In the 'Load Saved Map' section, select a previously saved map and click 'Load Map'

3. Saving Changes to an Existing Map ​

1. Modify the Map: Make desired changes (e.g., change the color scheme).
2. Click on the Save/Load Map tab.
3. In the top 'Save Map' section, ensure the map name remains the same.
4. Unselect Save as new.
5. Click Save to update the existing map.
