Map 6: Airbnb Map

This map starts with a splash screen that walks you through Airbnb's New Year's statistics and goals. It then comes up with a globe that you can click anywhere on to interact with and see where people are staying. I personally like this map because it's a more "cutesy" style and is easy to understand.

Map 5: Remembering Pearl Harbor

This map of the attack on Pearl Harbor is an example of an interactive timeline map. As it moves through the different dates on the timeline it takes you on a "tour" of the attack. What I found especially interesting about it is how it zooms in and out of the map. The inset map on the top helps the view understand where it is in relation to Hawaii as a whole as the map zooms in and out. Every date also has additional articles that the reader can view to gain more details about the events.

Map 4: Following the Frontier

The map above is an example of "morphing" or "tween" map. It illustrates the westward expansion of the United States from 1790 to 1890 while also showing the population density of the expansion.
