TimestampedGeoJson

Show changing geospatial data over time.

Relation to Timeline

This is a plugin with a similar purpose to Timeline. They both show geospatial information that changes over time.

The main difference between the two is the input format.

In the TimestampedGeojson each Feature has an array of start times. Each start time in the array corresponds to a part of the Geometry of that Feature. In the Timeline plugin each Feature has its own start and end time among its properties.

Also TimestampedGeoJson has a global duration property that is valid for all Features. In the Timeline plugin each Feature has its own end time property.

Depending on your input geojson, one plugin may be more convenient than the other.

Relation to Realtime

This plugin can only show data from the past. If you want live updates, you need the Realtime plugin.
