What is Geovisualization

Visualization of real or simulated 2D or 3D geographical information and ancillary data, taking into account the user experience and interaction.

A short for geographic visualization, also known as cartographic visualization. It refers to a set of tools and techniques supporting the analysis of georeferenced data using interactivity and collaboration. Traditional maps have a limited exploratory capability: they are statical, the graphical representations are exclusive linked to the geographical information beneath, and the interpretation depends on a previous cartographic knowledge. Geovisualization allow for more interactive maps; including the ability to show off different layers of the map, to zoom in or out, and to change the symbology, usually on a computer, cellphone, or tablet display.

Computer-based methods for mapping and visual presentation of geographical and social phenomena; evolved from classical cartography and can be used to visualize static two- and three-dimensional phenomena, as well as dynamically changing processes.

Graphical presentations of geographic information or statistical summaries about properties and relationships in space and/or time.

The visual communication aspects of displaying spatial information.
