👉 A map fluid, often referred to as a cartographic fluid or a dynamic map, is a type of visual representation that adapts and flows in real-time to reflect changes in geographic data, user interactions, or environmental conditions. Unlike static maps, which display fixed information, map fluids incorporate elements that morph and evolve, providing a more immersive and interactive experience. This fluidity can be seen in real-time tracking of weather patterns, traffic flows, or the spread of diseases, where the map fluidly updates to show current conditions, allowing users to better understand dynamic processes and make informed decisions based on the most recent data.
