This example demonstrates a smooth and efficient zooming and panning animation for interactive maps, based on the algorithm by Van Wijk and Nuij. It uses Polymaps to render Bing Maps imagery and animates the map's center and zoom level over time. The JavaScript code calculates a path between two map states, applying logarithmic interpolation to create a natural, accelerated motion. The animation is triggered by a search query, which finds a location and animates the map to focus on it.
