I'm going to try modest maps. My main concern is getting a very precise projection since the locations are very close to each other. I'll make some tests. Thanks, I’ve seen your post on that.

Careful selection of scaling and of order of coordinates makes a difference. You can even create these charts in Excel: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/ParallelCoord.html Parallel coordinate plots may be tricky to set up and use, but they are a very useful way to display multiple variables on one chart.

I have a dataset of time+lat/log elements concentrated in a 600Km x 200km area. As a first exploratory task I would like to simply plot these points in an animated graphic. Any suggestion of a package to easily project these points in a 2D surface? Thanks! Hi,
