OSM 2008: A Year of Edits from ItoWorld on Vimeo.

In the beginning of 2009, this global visualization appeared to illustrate the updates made to the OpenStreetMap project. I’m a sucker for maps and charts of all kinds. If you animate charts and data, you cannot pull me away.

As a user of the OpenStreetMap project and their data on my Nokia N810, I look forward to the animation of this year’s data.

This visualization was selected by FlowingData as one of the top 5 visualization projects of the year 2009.
