Mult.dev is a brand-new mapping tool that I recently found out about through
Maps Mania. Mult.dev does just one thing but does it effectively. That thing is develop animated maps illustrating the connections and travel distance in between two or more locations..

To create an animated map on Mult.dev you do not need an account. You can merely head to the website and start producing your map. To develop your map simply delete the placeholder cities and replace them with your own. You include cities to your map by using the search box then clicking on the name of the city that you wish to have appear on the map. When you add a brand-new city, you animation updates quickly.
There are some minimal personalization alternatives available on Mult.dev. You can pick from a list of nine icons to represent the mode of travel between the cities on your map. You can likewise pick from a handful of base map colors..
All animated maps that you develop on Mult.dev can be downloaded as MP4 videos. Alternatively, you can share your maps by connecting to them or by using the embed codes supplied by Mult.dev. Heres the demonstration map that I made..
Applications for Education.
As Keir Clarke mentioned on Maps Mania, Mult.dev most likely isnt a fantastic alternative for mapping brief journeys or connections in between cities that are fairly close together. Rather, its a good tool for revealing trainees distances between cities that are far apart like Boston and San Francisco or San Francisco and Sydney.

A feature of Mult.dev that I d like to see in the future is a choice to adjust the speed of animation based on the distances in between cities. I d like to have the animation slow down when revealing the distance between Sydney and San Francisco then speed up when showing the distance in between San Francisco and Boston.
