The first part of And the World Shakes uses an interactive globe to show the locations of around 37,000 earthquakes which have occurred since 1900. The map and data visualizations were created by the atlo data journalism team using data from the United States Geological Survey. The examples include a scenic animated Street View drive along the Amalfi Coast in Italy, a climb up Chapman's Peak in South Africa and a drive along Norway's breathtaking Lysebotn Road.Īnd the Earth Shakes is an interactive storymap which explores the location and magnitude of earthquakes around the world since 1900. Scroll down on the Animated Route Maps landing page to the 'Examples' section and you can find some predefined animated Street View tours.
Animated Route Maps aren't just for neurotic mazeophobics like myself, it is also a fun tool for virtually exploring the world.
Animated Route Maps allow you to request a travel route (driving, walking, cycling or public transit) and then view an animated Street View tour of the actual route. If you also like to familiarize yourself with a route before taking a journey then you might like Map Channels' Animated Route Maps. This helped to ensure that I actually didn't get lost on the way to my meeting. While checking out the location of the venue on Google Maps I also previewed the route from the nearest Underground Station to the venue on Street View. For example, last week I had to attend a meeting at a venue in a neighborhood of London that I am unfamiliar with. When I'm visiting somewhere new, some place that I've never been before, I often like to preview the location using Google Maps Street View.
