Title:

Neocartography: Mapping Design and Usability Evolved

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Andrew Turner, Mapufacture
Description:
Designers are dropping maps into their applications with little concern for usability or design and users are getting "Google Map fatigue". We need to move beyond the simple pin-dropping and consider appropriate mapping interfaces. This panel will look at the current and emerging tools to provide compelling geographic interaction and visualization.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What is neocartography?
  2. How do I pull in rich, dynamic data while still providing a simple, usable interface?
  3. What examples are there of next generation mapping interfaces?
  4. What open data formats should I use to share my geographic information?
  5. What tools exist to build advanced mapping interaction?
  6. How do I consider my cartographic design with my overall application design?
  7. What are the considerations when designing map interfaces for both mobile and desktop interfaces?
  8. How to integrate geographic data with non-cartographic interfaces?
  9. What are the concerns for interface speed, accuracy, and license restrictions on sharing geographic data?
  10. How does geographic data and visualizations fit in with the larger web? (what is the geoweb?)

Anything that help get away from Red Dot Fever is to be encouraged, and I am sure Andrew will persuavively put the case for varieties of visualizations.

Andrew is very talented - a real creative thinker. We hope to bring Andrew to New Orleans soon to help us develop more sophisticated multi layered maps of our recovery in New Orleans.

Great topic and even better panel. It would definitely makes the trip worth taking - some of the best people out there doing data visualization on a map or just in general. Surely a case of the future now.
