Time Slider Map
A Time Slider Map animates your data across a timeline so viewers can watch change unfold — spread of an event, growth over years, or seasonal patterns. Scrub the slider or hit play to see points appear and fade by date.
Map a time column from your data and Mapji builds the timeline automatically.
