Map designer has assumed users know some background about this area and events (like population, weather, culture) so that he\/she only need to provide\u00a0minimum but key information (like location, time period, longitude and latitude).Therefore, if users want to know more information, they need to search more details online or from other resources. Although, designer draw timelines for which events which make time period of an event easy to visualize. For the information above, the maps appear perspectival and subjective as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, in order to make the map easier for users to identify those events, I think designers could create a section on the left side for summary and description for each event so that when users click on each coordinate it will reveal not only the location and time period but also some details about what was going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Caribbean Cholera Timemap shows outbreaks happened in the 19th century at the different time period in the Caribbean.
