Towards Interactive Geovisualization Authoring Toolkit for Industry Use Cases
geospatial data, geovisualizations, visual authoring tools
Interactive visualizations of geospatial data are commonplace in various
applications and tools. The visual complexity of these visualizations ranges from
simple point markers placed on the cartographic maps through visualizing
connections, heatmaps, or choropleths to their combination. Designing proper
visualizations of geospatial data is often tricky, and the existing approaches
either provide only limited support based on pre-defined templates or require
extensive programming skills. In our previous work, we introduced the Geovisto
toolkit - a novel approach that blends between template editing and programmatic
approaches providing tools for authoring reusable multilayered map widgets even
for non-programmers. In this paper, we extend our previous work focusing on
Geovisto's application in the industry. Based on the critical assessment of two
existing usage scenarios, we summarize the necessary design changes and their
impact on the toolkit's architecture and implementation. We further present
a case study where Geovisto was used in the production-ready application for IoT
sensor monitoring developed by Logimic, a Czech-US startup company. We conclude
by discussing the advantages and limitations of our approach and outlining the
future work.
