Soundings — Creative Industries Report UK

This map renders on Google Maps tiles and needs a Google Maps API key with the Maps JavaScript API enabled. The key stays in this browser only (localStorage) — it is sent nowhere except Google.

Tip: serve this folder locally (python -m http.server in viz/) if your key has referrer restrictions. You can also pass ?key=… in the URL.
