Crocodile Maps

The Franklin Eco-laboratory at the University of Queensland has electronically tagged a pose out of crocodiles. The tags permit the laboratory to monitor the place of crocodiles inwards real-time together with to report the attain together with movements of the animals inwards the wild.

The laboratory's Crocodile Tracks website includes 5 interactive map showing the tracks of 5 unlike crocodiles. Using the maps yous tin give notice uncovering the surprisingly large attain of each of the 5 crocodiles over a menstruation of time.

Unfortunately the maps don't include a scale. Without a map scale it is quite difficult to larn a feel of how far an private crocodile has traveled. I intend the maps would equally good produce goodness from a timeline. You tin give notice click on the private tracking points on a map to sentiment the fourth dimension together with appointment of the place tracked. It would endure easier yet to gauge the passage of fourth dimension if yous could charge each betoken consecutively using a timeline.

My concluding occupation amongst the map is the selection of color for the tracking polylines. The white place tracks operate good on the satellite map precisely expire close invisible if yous switch to the OSM map layer.

If yous similar these crocodile maps together with thence yous mightiness savour these other animal tracking maps.
