HTML5 Map of the the World Migrations using SVG, Raphael.js and offline storage

People who like exploring statistics like this (as opposed to just being impressed by the nice technical implementation - which I love, btw) should take a look at GapMinder.<p>Eg:<p><a href="http://www.gapminder.org/world/#$majorMode=chart$is;shi=t;ly=2003;lb=f;il=t;fs=11;al=30;stl=t;st=t;nsl=t;se=t$wst;tts=C$ts;sp=5.59290322580644;ti=2009$zpv;v=0$inc_x;mmid=XCOORDS;iid=phAwcNAVuyj1jiMAkmq1iMg;by=ind$inc_y;mmid=YCOORDS;iid=phAwcNAVuyj2tPLxKvvnNPA;by=ind$inc_s;uniValue=8.21;iid=phAwcNAVuyj0XOoBL_n5tAQ;by=ind$inc_c;uniValue=255;gid=CATID0;by=grp$map_x;scale=log;dataMin=295;dataMax=79210$map_y;scale=lin;dataMin=19;dataMax=86$map_s;sma=49;smi=2.65$cd;bd=0$inds=;example=75" rel="nofollow">http://www.gapminder.org/world/#$majorMode=chart$is;shi=t;ly...</a><p><a href="http://www.gapminder.org/world/#http://www.gapminder.org/world/#$majorMode=chart$is;shi=t;ly=2003;lb=f;il=t;fs=11;al=30;stl=t;st=t;nsl=t;se=t$wst;tts=C$ts;sp=4.67741935483871;ti=1990$zpv;v=0$inc_x;mmid=XCOORDS;iid=phAwcNAVuyj1jiMAkmq1iMg;by=ind$inc_y;mmid=YCOORDS;iid=0ArfEDsV3bBwCcGhBd2NOQVZ1eWowNVpSNjl1c3lRSWc;by=ind$inc_s;uniValue=8.21;iid=phAwcNAVuyj0XOoBL_n5tAQ;by=ind$inc_c;uniValue=255;gid=CATID0;by=grp$map_x;scale=log;dataMin=1438;dataMax=45906$map_y;scale=log;dataMin=1.7;dataMax=1551$map_s;sma=49;smi=2.65$cd;bd=0$inds=i175_l001990bfbH;i65_p001990afa7;i231_l001990bVba" rel="nofollow">http://www.gapminder.org/world/#http://www.gapminder.org/wor...</a><p>The Hans Rosling TED talk is fantastic too: <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_y...</a>

This is really informative, and very well done to boot. Great work!<p>The colour scheme struck me as a little odd, though. It goes from darker (more migration) to lighter (less migration) but then abruptly to dark grey (no migration), making it harder to interpret at first glance. It would be nice if it were somewhat monotonic: bright colour = more migration, darker/duller colour = less migration, dark grey = no migration.

Nice and interesting, well done! I also like the offline caching feature.<p>The only tiny imperfection I see it's in the lines connecting two countries, I'd like to see an arrow so I know if I'm looking at arrivals or departures.<p>Is there a way to filter the GMO database to see only the current migration flow (say, last 5 years)?

Fascinating how boring data may be presented interesting and fresh by simple vizualisation. This remings me of the TED talk given by Hans Rosling about global statistics of population, mortality, internet access etc. Whoever made this map should contact mr. Hans, I smell collaboration there.

It's understandable that several places don't have data (NaN), but I found it curious that Burma/Myanmar is missing from the map [1], much like the "Poland Sea" in a Microsoft Date/Time screen from yesteryear [2].<p>Did you create this map data or get it from somewhere else? Is this some kind of joke?<p>[1] <a href="http://i.imgur.com/m8Wce.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/m8Wce.png</a><p>[2] <a href="https://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2006/10/27/880411.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2006/10/27/8804...</a>

The blue arrow next to the arrivals and departures selection, acts like a radio buttion, but looks like an arrow. This is misleading... I was wondering why it said "Arrivals =&#62; Deprture" which looked weird... only after i clicked around, it was obvious that it was acting like a radio button.

Really Responsive too and it all works in Opera or seemed to anyway, so many developers forget about Opera because it doesn't have the same amount of marketing as the others. But anyway Sweet Build!

What is this data? Is it last year's migrations? Averages? More context is needed.

This is awesome really enjoyed it, spent about 20 mins checking out how people and moving around the world.<p>I would include a zoom function, some small countries are hard to find.

Some data seems strange to me. Why would 123k mexicans go to pakistan? Or 30k mexicans go to Congo? <a href="http://migrationsmap.net/#/MEX/departures" rel="nofollow">http://migrationsmap.net/#/MEX/departures</a><p>and I understand this is lifetime, but still those two destinations seem unlikely to me.<p>fascinating map nonetheless.

Great job and I really enjoyed the visualizations. If you have the data, I would love to see migrations over time.

Very impressive, nicely done! Spent a couple of minutes exploring migrant streams.<p>Minor nitpick: When I click on 'Macedonia' the origin point appears in Sweden. When I click on 'Serbia' it appears in Canada.

There's an ordering issue for Faroe Islands departures. I think it might be doubling single-digit quantities - everything below Panama (10 departures) is a duplicated number. I'm on Firefox 6.0.2, Linux AMD64.

Very nice. I was wondering how difficult it would be to capture a particular state of the map (say UK departures) as a PNG for embedding or generating a PDF. Could you do that on the server side?

Looks great! The population of Saint Helena is NaN and also there is something wrong with the arrows..<p>BTW changing #hashcode based on the country looking at would be great too.

The GDP of Somalia is apparently so low it is NaN.

Interesting...there is a huge migration from Brazil to China..can someone point out whats the reason?

Kind of crazy to see how almost every Country on the list has the United States as a destination.

The English on the About page needs some work. Pay attention to singular and plural, for example.

I see various migrations lacking - f.ex. Polish to Brazil, and Vietnamese to Poland. why is that?

I'd like to see this in the Peters projection, but otherwise quite fun!
