We’ve added a new feature for filtering crime by time of day. We’ve been calling this new feature the “time pie”! The time pie shows a 24 hour period and allows the user to select time segments of commute hours, nightlife hours and police shifts. Sunrise and sunsets hours are also indicated. The user may also select specific hours by dragging thru the time pie. The date slider on the map has also been updated with the ability to page forward and backward through time for data since summer of 2007.

We’ve also switched the map to Pale Dawn, the map style we created for Cloudmade early this year. This map style was created specifically for data overlay.

Here’s another hurricane piece we did for MSNBC displaying historical hurricane data since 1851. The map has several ways of filtering and viewing hurricane paths, with sliders for time, hurricane strength and landfall location. Learn more about the project from Eric and Tom’s blog posts.

Sourced from OpenStreetMap data, Cloudmade provides tools and APIs that allow developers to make the most of map data as well as provide a variety of map styles developers can choose from. Mike and I created three map styles that were presented at the launch in San Francisco and London. We created these maps using Cascadenik.

Fresh

Fresh was created for web-based applications.

Midnight Commander

We created a map style inspired by scifi films.

Pale Dawn

Pale Dawn was created as an underlayer map style to be used as a background layer with data as foreground.

Trulia Snapshot just launched! Snapshot is another visualization tool built by Stamen for the real estate search engine Trulia. Tom Carden and Ryan Alexander built the amazing interface. I worked on design. Snapshot is a real estate image browser. It shows an alternate magazine-like view of Trulia’s image data of homes all over the U.S.. It is now part of Trulia’s growing list of visualization tools, featured in a new section called TruliaExplore. Trulia Hindsight is also featured here.
