ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME
http://roadstorome.moovellab.com/
We all know the saying mentioned in the title of this post, but who has ever seen these roads actually leading to Rome? Now you can due to Benedikt Groß, Philipp Schmitt and Raphael Reimann from moovel lab. They carried out this amazing project called Roads to Rome, which visualizes paths from hundreds of thousands of locations in Europe to this metropolis. It’s done in such a great way that it is literally a piece of art. And indeed, you can buy prints. Or browse an interactive version with Rome or all other European cities as the destination.
The map is based on Open Street Map data using the GrassHoper API for routing and leaflet.js + mapbox + turf for the interactive visualization.
