It has been some other successful yr for CartoDB's temporal mapping Torque library. Even every bit 2014 begins to air current downwards the Torque maps withal croak along coming.
Yesterday AirAsia flying QZ8501 vanished from radar screens over the Java Sea. This AirAsia Republic of Indonesia flying QZ8501 map plots the flying path of the airplane from Surabaya to Singapore. The map uses the Torque library to animate the flying of the airplane from Surabaya to its end known position, when it lost contact amongst air traffic command at 06.24 local time.
The Torque library has every bit good been used past times the to-do listing app Wunderlist for their annual productivity report. The World Productivity List uses the library to visualize where together with how the application is used throughout the globe over the cast of 1 day.
Torque is oft used to present a lot of flashing information on a globe map. The Wunderlist maps, similar many of these maps, hardly reveals whatever interesting geographical patterns inwards the underlying data. However I guess the map succeeds inwards its top dog draw of piece of employment of demonstrating that Wunderlist has lots of users approximately the world.
