    Hi,

    I have a data set of foreclosures in WI for the last several years with date and geo coordinates. I'd like to create a map like the Walmart and Target store openings. Like this:

    How do I go about doing this?

    i open-sourced the code. it needs work, but it's a start:

    We've just introduced an animation bar in v.6.1 to allow you to play a time series sequence in exactly this way.
    So you could deliver something very similar (with other features too) using InstantAtlas (http://www.instantatlas.com).
