What happened
Amazon Quick Sight layer maps now support Point and LineString geometries in GeoJSON files, so users can plot locations and routes alongside existing shape layers. A shared key joins GeoJSON features to rows in a Quick Sight dataset, and each map layer displays one geometry type at a time. GeoJSON files must use the `.geojson` format and be no larger than 100 MB.
