Changing the Map Theme from Light to Streets improves the contrast for the street names.

The values displayed on the Geo Heatmap are binned aggregate values. You can choose to display the Bin Shape as hexagons or as squares. You can adjust the Bin Pixel Size of the markers to a smaller size to increase the granularity of the Geo Heatmap.

You can set the Color Palette to tell a more effective story with your data. In this example, setting the palette to gradations of blue helps to distinguish between the trees in Central Park versus the fare values.
