What it is
Flow Map draws origin-to-destination flows on a geographic canvas with weighted line thickness. Build a logistics chart that actually reads like a map — not a tangle of arrows.
What it does
Origin/destination pairs as bezier flows on a geographic projection, weighted by volume, with hover-highlight and tooltip.
Why use it
Spreadsheet shipment data hides geography. Flow maps put it back.
Three ways teams use it
