For who?
Travel
In the travel industry, our feature can be used in various ways. It can be as simple and clear as displaying a flight line between location A and B.
But the feature can also be used to highlight all locations passed on the travel journey. When using a more indepth view, it can also be nice to add some more annotations and visualize points of interest along the way.
Animated maps can also be used to visualize hiking trails or bike routes. The possibilities are endless. By adding icons along your route you can make distinctions of the travel method, going from airplane, helicopter, cruise, boat, car, motorbike, bicycle to pedestrian.
Real Estate
When you have gathered various locations for a client in a certain area, it can help to visualize the route between these various properties, and highlighting the POI’s along the way. This gives them a better sense of the near surroundings per property.
Plan your journey to highlight and enhance your properties’ location. Animated maps already improve the interaction when it comes to your clients discovering the area surrounding your properties. But with the animated lines, you can actually take them for a walk in their future neighborhood! From the supermarket, to the school close by, or to the surrounding parks. With the usage of pop-ups, you can make their journey come to life!
News
When it comes to animated maps for broadcasting or news, routes or travel lines might not be on the top of your head. But have you thought about your route for the Tour de France being animated? Or perhaps you are reporting on your local bus route being changed – From global to local, the animated routes and lines in your animated maps allows you to enhance your news articles.
Any other businesses
Animated lines can also be used to display the route from your company to other locations in the surrounding area, for instance the train station nearby. This can help visualize the distance as well as guide your clients on their way to your location.
