Visualizing Viral Cartography with MapReverse

Social media provide a fast-moving ecosystem for the rapid dissemination of digital maps. Some maps become viral, reaching massive audiences across diverse networks. A new challenge cartographers is to characterize design and viral in social media. Here, we present prototype visualization tool called MapReverse which allows users explore collections map images that are similar given map. Similar identified using combination reverse image search machine learning analysis. In some cases, can identify original sources maps; more commonly many modifications This system provides glimpse into evolution cartographic as found
