MotionMap

What MotionMap is

MotionMap is a web tool for turning location data into visual stories that show how activity changes over time. Bring in CSV files, connect APIs, or use live streams, then explore movement through timeline playback and motion trails that show paths, speed, and change. Interactive visualizations and live data refresh are supported. Maps can be shared through links or embeds, and users can export videos.

MotionMap names logistics and operations, media and journalism, smart cities and IoT, and consultants and analysts among its audiences. Its setup is described as no-code and does not require a custom build or complex data pipeline. The Free plan costs nothing and includes public maps with limited events. Pro costs $29 a month and adds private maps, higher limits, and exports. Team costs $99 a month and lists collaboration, large volumes, and priority support. MotionMap is made by Codeflock Inc.
