This is a simple splash screen map with a basic introduction scene that goes over the general background for Pearl Harbor.  Then once we begin the animation lots of options appear on the map.  There's a timeline to see the progression of the battle, details of certain events, and the ability to hover over certain elements of the map. The subtle introduction for this map opens up to a lot more once the animation begins.

A link to a map using a timeline:

This is a map done by the NY times that shows the most common origin location of foreign born persons in all the counties of the United States over the course of 120 years.  Its very interesting since you can see some of the major shifts in immigration over time.

An example of Map that uses shape tweening:

This map is interesting since it compares what the actual London underground is like compared to the metro map or the originally intended metro map plan.  The use of tweening shows the morphing between the maps in a subtle manner. Very similar to the video on the class blog as well, but adds a bit of a historical background.
