Animation in maps has been happening as old as maps themselves. This is because movement is apart of the environment. Animation in cartography is defined as a graphic art that occurs in time, animation is a dynamic visual statements that evolves through the change of the display. This sort of animation is not generally used though because it is expensive to make. There are mathematical computation software that crunches numbers to turn weather systems into moving maps though. It almost looks like what a Doppler radar maps put off only it is been computed by a machine.
