Grafana 8.1 introduces the foundation for our new map panel. This new panel leverages [OpenLayers](https://openlayers.org/) and gives us a flexible solution for extending the way we use the new Geomap panel moving forward. The new Geomap panel includes multiple base layer styles (map layer options), as well as a more open data layer. The data layer can use coordinates and geo-hashed data in addition to a lookup table.
The Geomap panel is also able to share views across multiple Geomap panels on the same dashboard, making it straightforward to visualize and explore multiple types of geospatial data using the same map zoom and focus settings. For more information, refer to [Geomap panel]({{< relref "../panels/visualizations/geomap.md" >}}).

## Annotation panel
The new Annotations panel shows a list of available annotations you can use to create lists of annotated data available within your organization. Various options are available to filter the list based on the tags and on the current dashboard. This panel makes it easy to find and filter annotated data within and across multiple dashboards.

### Time series panel updates
The time series panel has been updated with the ability to color series and line by thresholds or gradient color scales. This allows users to create panels where the line color can change dynamically based on thresholds or using gradient color scales. It adds a layer of visibility to your data, making it more straightforward to quickly see changes across thresholds at a glance.
