Cartogram with a watercolor map

Geo-coordinates of a route deform an automatically generated map to a cartogram: Places where the user has been for a longer or more often time appear larger than other places. Therefore, the cartogram tries to re-generate a mental map the user might have from the trip.

rapid prototyping

Explore your trip and pictures with a digital device.

We developed a prototype to upload a GPS route (yellow line) and GPS-tagged pictures (markers) which will automatically create a unique watercolour map. Tapping on a marker, the user gets more information about a photo taken on a specific place.
