Flow Map

A Flow Map shows the movement of people, information, or objects.  A prime example is a flow map of migration, but there are unlimited possibilities.  The example I am using is a flow map of telecommunications in the Europe region.  It shows where the most telecommunications are going in and coming out of.  This map is also a Proportional Circle map because it shows each country's total usage in proportional circles to one another.
