The Mapbox Blog is continuing to showcase swell maps built using Turf.js. Last calendar week i of my favorite maps was a road planner using Capital Bikeshare stations. That map used Turf.js amongst meridian information to render an amazing 3d meridian nautical chart along a bike route.
This calendar week the Mapbox Blog continued to demonstrate the geospatial processing abilities of Turf amongst an animated map of the Iditarod, an annual sled domestic dog race which takes house inwards Alaska. Time Travel Across the Iditarod amongst Turf replays the whole race, allowing you lot to follow the progress of each of the domestic dog sleds over the cast of the fifteen twenty-four hours race.
CartoDB has also been busy amongst novel characteristic releases. This calendar week they announced CartoDB Heat Maps. The novel rut maps choice inwards CartoDB leverages the ability of the Torque library, which allows developers to efficiently homecoming in addition to pose out real large datasets to the client.
Torque is belike best known for its temporal capabilities, which ability all those real pop animated Twitter maps that you lot conduct keep no incertitude seen (for representative this Super Bowl Twitter map). The novel CartoDB Heat Maps options tin plough over the sack also role Torque's temporal abilities to practise animated rut maps.
These novel animated rut maps are of cast real visually engaging. However, the best representative of a map using CartoDB Heat Maps that I've seen then far is this Placenames Heatmap. The map allows you lot to persuasion a rut map of words used inwards U.S. place-names.
Type a discussion into the map in addition to it searches U.S. place-names in addition to creates a rut map of the results.

The tool comes amongst an interesting demo map visualizing Islamic terrorist attacks some the footing since 1983. The map animates through each prepare on inwards chronological order, amongst iii dissimilar speeds of playback. The ruddy round down markers are scaled to stand upward for the issue of deaths involved inwards each attack.

Actually the map isn't exclusively blank equally you lot conduct keep to portion your sail amongst other artists signing-in from some the world.
