Beautiful Mapping Visualization
2008 December 31
No, it’s not a map visualization—it’s a mapping visualization.
This gorgeous video illustrates all the edits made to OpenStreetMap over the past year. Since all the data on OpenStreetMap is user-contributed (like Wikipedia), you can just picture OSM users all over the world driving around with their GPS devices, uploading new data to the site. (Try watching it full-screen in HD.)

oh yeah, really cool.
