Towards Interactive Geovisualization Authoring Toolkit for Industry Use Cases
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.
