Cartographic Animations


This is a map displaying Cartographic Animation.  As its name implies, Cartographic Animation of a map occurs when computer or video animation is added to a map.  The possibilities are endless for Catographic Animation, but commonly it is used to display some type of change in dimension.  Often the change is depicted in time and at a greater scale (much faster or slower than real time).  This map uses Cartographic Animation to emphasize location...the location of warning signals on these specific interstates or roadways.
