1 of 1 people found this helpfulHi Santi,
The reason your viz is slow is because it is trying to paint up so many data points. However, you can get an immediate performance gain by switching the maps to offline mode (Map > Background Maps > Offline).
I've also done a sheet-swap to show you how to switch between maps which gives the impression of improving performance.
HTH 10.5 attached. If you upload it, you should see demonstrably faster performance.

3. Re: Sliders for pie charts on maps, long loading time
Santi Roberts Apr 26, 2018 3:53 PM (in response to Peter Fakan)Thank you Peter! this looks great in Tableau reader 10.5, but I cannot open it in Tableau public 10.5 due to the program wanting to open up a version that I must have been working on later than the one you uploaded (see message below from when I try and open the file). Changing the filename does not help. This happened in my last post to these forums too (my first ever), and I never figured out how to resolve the problem as he uploaded it to his public site, I downloaded it and it worked. Please let me know if you know how to disable opening the latest file, or upload to a place I can download from! sorry for the hassle.

Hi Santi,
Sorry, I realised I was using TD 10.5.2.
I just loaded up the viz and it didn't allow me to export the file as a lesser version
Are you able to follow my directions above or upgrade to 10.5.2 ?

Santi Roberts Apr 26, 2018 4:14 PM (in response to Peter Fakan)Thanks Peter. i am working in version 10.5.3. I am not able to open the file because of the problem above (it just opens the one I was working on last night, which may be date stamped as 'newer' than the one you uploaded?). I took the message to mean it's opening the version of the file that is date stamped as most recent) rather than the version made with the most recent version of Tableau. I think if you upload and send me the link it might work (it did last time). I have also submitted an email to Support, so we'll see if they can figure it out. Thanks

Santi Roberts Apr 26, 2018 4:39 PM (in response to Santi Roberts)offline maps looks like it's only available for tableau desktop. https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/maps_mapsources.html#maptiles. I'll work on my employer getting me a copy of that , but I'd still like to be able to use your revamped version of my workbook in the meantime. Thanks

Hi Santi,
No problem, here's another go at uploading it - unfortunately the export as version is still greyed out for me.

Santi Roberts Apr 26, 2018 5:21 PM (in response to Peter Fakan)Ah sorry Peter I have not been clear. I meant upload to your tableau public site from which I then download, rather than upload to this thread. That’s what worked last time. Thanks again.

Santi Roberts Apr 26, 2018 10:41 PM (in response to Peter Fakan)Yep that worked. It looks and works great. Thank you! I’ll figure out at some point how you did it :). I’ve also managed to get the pie chart resizing in the public site working by using the post I link to above.

Hi Santi,
Glad to hear its working ok.
As I noted above, this is only an interim performance measure - there are better methods of making your maps faster but this was the quickest method of getting you up and running with reasonable load times for your maps. The sheet swap technique is pretty well documented, but as I also noted above this doesn't give any actual performance improvements apart from it just 'seems' faster.
Appreciate if you could mark the question complete on the most relevant post you think resolved your issue.
