Examples of Animated maps

Question

I am currently looking examples of animated maps. Creating animated maps with the help of this post and similar post checking Animaps site also

I am presenting this map in local school so those students should take interest to learn and create various simple interactive maps.

I am in process to create animated map contains Gardens and amusement parks across the city.

Answer 1

One of the most spectacular animated maps I've seen is Google's Wind Map.

Answer 2

Some great examples in the links there! One thing not mentioned in your links, which should be useful, is OpenLayers' Strategy.Refresh call. In this you can set a time interval for refreshing a vector layer automatically.

Also, I create 3D animated landscape visualizations for public participation in planning and they are stand-alone (not web-based), so I don't know if you'd call that a 'map' as such. However, you may also get some inspiration from 3D mapping and tech in this thread.

Answer 3

Based in QGIS

Underdarks's Tutorial

Layer “start_flash” is a medium sized dot that marks the appearance of a new tweet.
Layer “big_flash” is a bigger dot of the same color which will appear after “start_flash”.
Layer “permanent” is a small dot that will be visible even after the flash vanishes.
