One of the recent Knight News Challenge winners was Aaron Presnall’s ‘VIDI’ project, a collection of Drupal modules to combine various datasets into interactive embeddable widgets.  On their site you can see an interactive timeline and map of recent World Cup games.

This particular visualization uses our module TimelineMap, which was built as a Drupal Views 2 style plug-in. It is based on the Google Timemap API and allows you to load one or more datasets onto both a map and a timeline simultaneously. (Only items in the visible range of the timeline are displayed as markers on the Google map.)
