How to draw map of UK?

[ZedZipDev]

I have a database, one of tables contain client list with addresses+UK Postcode. I'd like to draw map of UK and display diagram with amount of clients in each UK region. What should I use? Any template? Thanks for ideas.

I would suggest you use Vega and sift through their maps examples.

You can try Vega examples with my Vega Viewer ext. for vscode :)

Our viewer does not currently render Vega-based maps. It may be possible to use the maps underlying deck.gl. Can you tell me which component you are using? e.g. sanddance, sanddance-react, sanddance-explorer ?

also, I believe Observable HQ has some UK maps you can pull some code bits from ;)
