Animated maps to allow exploration of alternate levels of ‘jitter’
In a previous project we published a map of point locations that had been ‘jittered’, ie adding random noise to the latitude and longitude. We did this by testing out a few maps and deciding on one that we thought protected privacy adequately whilst not destroying the spatial pattern we wished to display (evocatively).
I always wondered about a way to interactively do this and I think the animation package might do the trick, with the ability to step thru levels of jittering with the pause, fwd and back buttons.
Clink here for the same data shown in a new animation.
