I don't think a heatmap is the best representation for this kind of data: 1. if this is meant to show both votes, then a pie chart for each position (town/council) would be more effective 2. the blur is not clearly visible at all when zooming out completely 3. taking into account 'votes' from outside the country concerned is a bit confusing as pointed out in another comment, the rules for the referendum states that you have to be in Scotland to cast you vote. However, I had a look at the http://bubb.al/ http://bubb.al/ website and I can see how this could be used in a contained area (like an attraction park) or more generally if you could tie this up with a social media to show the mood of a user population in a wide area. On a side note, I am surprised you are not located near the Quarter Mile. ;)

Thanks for the feedback! Looking at each point individually: 1. We went with a map over a series of pie charts as we'd like to create something a bit more engaging for the user. 2. Agreed: The blur is causing me several issues, and is something I'm absolutely still working on. 3. Obviously these "votes" won't be counted, we're just trying to get a sense of how people in different part of the world feel about it. Thanks for taking a look at our site! Attraction parks are a use-case we're absolutely something we're looking into. We're currently based in a tech incubator called CodeBase (http://www.thisiscodebase.com/ http://www.thisiscodebase.com/). Quarter Mile is a beautiful building, but you can't beat being surrounded by other startups!
